Kevlar Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I am thinking about selling off my Hackintosh (Pentium D dual 2.8ghz, 1 gb ram, 250gb sata harddrive, 120gb ide drive, SuperDrive pulled from a G5, Intel D945GNTLKR, and a ASUS x300se video card) and purchasing the New Mac Mini. How much slower do you think the mac mini would be compared to my hackintosh. I do a little freelance design at home, but mostly just surf the web and play chess. Am I better off with the Hackintosh or with the Mac mini? This is all I can afford, so any advise would be nice.. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
learning_bird Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I think that your hackintosh kicks the ass out of any mini, even the new 1,83 Ghz. So unless you're looking for mini's small footprint, silence and beauty I would wait until 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktear Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I would go for the mini, with the new update it's really a powerfull little thing, even if you go for the cheapest model. I do a little freelance design at home, but mostly just surf the web and play chess. It doesn't seem you will need anything demanding in 3D either, so the integrated graphics should serve you well.
