I MAC MINI REVIEW SOFTWARE
The OCR software was a little slow to start, but worked well after it began running. So long as I am not doing anything extensive in Rosetta, it works fairly well. It's a little slower that I would expect. I am assuming that things will improve with the next release.ġ. I have been getting the occasional hiccup. Well, I didn't get the 512MB version, I picked up the !GB with 100 GB Hard drive, as they had it available for $150 more (which the RAM would have cost $125). I'd love to hear more peoples experiences. Just so that the this isn't a complete moan, when doing processor intensive tasks such as decompressing archives etc. If anyone has any ideas of what I could do regarding either upgrading (does that viod my waranty?) or complaining to Apple, getting my money back and buying one with more RAM, then I'd love to hear them. Just a warning to anyone thinking of getting one - don't get one with 512mb of RAM! I have installed very little on top of the base software. For example, whilst I was writing this post i pressed the menu button on my apple remote, front row took 26 seconds to load.

I realise now that going for this model was stupid but I assumed that Apple would at least make sure that the software they ship with their machines could run as intended.

Just to clarify this means I have 512 mb of ram, 256 for each core minus at least 40 from each core for the graphics memory meaning that when the OS sends a task to the cpu it has 1.66ghz and about 200mb of RAM! In general use I have on average about 16mb of free RAM

I have had my mac mini since last tuesday and I'm reaching the end of my tether! I went for the base line core duo, partly because I'm impatient and didn't want to wait 4 days for them to build me a better one!
