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

I did the same but with a powerbook about 6 months ago
I totally agree. you will find that an external firewire fast drive would be a great addition in the future. I have a 200gig that I left formated at FAT32 so windows and mac can share it and also my Motif ES Keyboard can use it to store it's samples and song files etc on. The MiniMac has a 4200rpm drive as my Powerbook does and this is probably the bottleneck in the system well at least for me anyway. So consider the external drive for your audio sometime later down the track and it will speed things up significantly if or when you need it |
