DS Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Speaking from experience, if you plan on running any apps via Rosetta, avoid the Celeron line of processors. At least get the cheapest P4 with 1MB cache min. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11312-building-a-mini/#findComment-71160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevlar Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 My main reason for it is for just websurfing, dvd playing, itunes with visualation in my living room.. I don't plan to use it for anything other than a simplified (with frontrow) dvd/mp3 player.

MacApprentice Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 You should consider a Celeron 346 or 351, cause those support SSE3, it'll be better I think. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11312-building-a-mini/#findComment-71222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
