hellllo...
 i'm very very new to mac, infact i don't know anything about them, only that i want one... now i've been using PC all my life and i want to move into mac. This MAC mini sounds nice, and can fit to my budget, i can't afford much... now, so far i've been using sonar (which means now i'll be moving into D. Performer woohooo!) for film scoring and mainly MIDI productions, not dealing with audio that much. ok sorry for saying that much, the question is - i can afford the MAC mini 1.42, i'll add a pc2700 1 GB and a 160GB 7200 (8 cache) FIREWIRE hdd... which means it'll be (in here) about - 1395$ more or less... is it worth it? will it be strong enough for, lets say - loading a full orchestra (heavy samples) into kontakt? well you get my point... it's worth it? i havn't got a clue in mac, none! hehehe please... any1 thanks, Yoav

well... first thanks for the reply
second, that all depends on what we take as serious, i mean, i don't sample stuff (instruments etc.) i use AKAI and GIGA samples which loads with kontakt and that's it, plus plugins for fx and compression etc (which can be quite a few sometimes - but not THAT much), my VST instruments use is not massive, trilogy sometimes... few moogs (all the plugins and VST instruments are all software - vsts i mean, nothing is external except for the controller and the mixer). so since i havn't got much money, and the whole thing as i said should cost me around 1200-1300$ in here (look at the first post), is it worth it? -> MAC mini 1.42 + 160GB FIREWIRE + 1GB RAM? for MIDI based productions - AKAI and GIGA samples? well, on my current PC, i run with 1GB of ram and i get good results, but still... i want more, and i heard mac can make more out of the CPU and the MEMORY... so what i'm asking (again) is, is it worth "upgrading" or moving into mac mini with the features i mentiond from my P4 2.4, 1GB RAM? thanks again, waiting for reply
