I'm hoping to get SFC running on her, once I get Virtual PC. I'll need a copy of Win98 since XP is power hungry.

That way I'll have the equivalent of 500-700 MHz of processor power for the game. It won't be worth it if I have less than 400 since it was barely playable on my old 400.

That is, if I can get it to work.

oh yeah, I failed to mention the integral DVD/CD-RW drive

wee!

EDIT: Sorry Max but I had to edit out your hint.

I've got my new Mac up and running!! WOOT!!!

I hope you got at least 512MB of RAM.

I wish Apple would stop offering 256MB as starting baseline. IMHO, 512MB is bottom end for decent Mac OS X performance.

From what I read, The Mac Mini was not designed for customer access. You need something like a sharp plastic blade or edge to crack the case open. Doing so may even void the warranty.

Commander Maxillius · « **Reply #12 on:** February 11, 2005, 09:54:08 pm »

It doesn't. Opening the case is possible, yet difficult, and does not void th warranty! You can upgrade the RAM, but if you break it while the case is off that damage isn't covered.
