Nikos Mac Attack on ebay's Profile

I think some of these misperceptions exist today still, some of which you touched on...some not.. 1)Mac Minis cant play games- Not true, with bootcamp, windows superior drivers use up to 256m of video memory compared to 64 max under OS X. This is only with 2 gb system ram though. I have done this, and played Madden08, far cry, and others, textures full blown, and plays smooth. 2) Macs are expensive- You touched on this, people compare apples to oranges, pardon the pun. Budget Pcs for 325 dollars are so under powered its not even funny. Plus, forget ilife, and that type of software....where is your Windows OS disk? You dont get that anymore. Mac gives you the Operating System on a dvd, and it will work on ANY computer of the same type (macbook on macbooks, imacs on imac, ect). So not only do you get a disc, but you get pdf and dvd support. Did you know you can install Windows Vista on a beige box using an oem disk and it WONT PLAY A DVD!! no codec license! Thats why pcs come with power dvd or something like that. Dont take my word for it, try it yourself if you have the means. Build a pc box, put vista on it. We used Home Premium. Dvd would not play in windows Media player. Once we put powerDVD in, it did. PDF support is another one, in mac, you go to the print menu and you can convert dozens of pages to PDF. thats 80 more dollars a PC user has to spend. Also, anti virus software...not everyone knows how to find the free ones. Plus, whats the cost of system resources used to run the anti virus stuff? 3)ALL IN ONE! problem with software? computer? one phone call touches one base. with a PC, you have a box built by Dell, OS by microsoft, software by someone else. With a Mac one call can solve all your problems, and you never hear " Thats not an issue of ours, youll need to contact so and so" 4)Bottom Line, with a Mac you have the best of both worlds. You can run Mac and Windows. 5)There is Mac software to do ANYTHING you can do on WINDOWS! Day was where the entire compUSA store was for pcs, and there were two shelves of mac stuff. Mac Software is on the internet, not on a shelf. When I switched, I found a title to do anything I could do on a pc, and usually it was done better or easier. 6)No matter how much better Vista is than XP, OS X is ten times easier to use. No confusing C drive, D, E, people have to mark their computers with markers, then when they add a USB drive, all the letters change. 7) IF mac users get so worked up, anyone ever wonder WHY? have you ever met anyone with Microsoft stickers on their car?? Maybe its that good.

first of all, as someone who takes mac minis apart alot, your info is wrong. SoDimm modules are flat, not standing up, so you wont gain anything. The height of the mac mini from ground up is motherboard, fan optical drive with the hard drive being underneath the optical drive. Not alot of room to shrink, and I hardly think size of mac mini is too large. its just big enough to cool a core2duo, which alot of people have been running long before apple put it in a mini. I think this computer should have a keyboard and mouse added to it for same price or close, say 649 and 849.
