Mac Mini?

Anonymous — Wed, 13 Jul 2005 10:31:52 GMT

Hi all,
we are thinking about additional workstation for AC 9 and we are considering Mac Mini (don't laugh). Have you any experience with
this small cute thing? Heavy task will be realised on other computers, Mac Mini could be just for plain work.

greetings
Marek

Hi. I am not laughing. We use one for smaller projects, demo, training,... It works well for that purpose. Just make sure at least 512 MB of RAM is in there.

They will work fine, just a bit slowly...

Get the Gig. Makes a huge difference to AC. I think the mini has only one slot, so go ahead and fill it.

The spec that would worry me is the 32MB of VRAM. But for 'drafting', training, etc., It's worth a try at the price.
