Hi there,
My post university job situation has been resolved, and I'm going to be living at home for the next year, in quite a small room, so I'd finally like to move to Mac and get a Mini to hook up to my Dell 2005FPW which is wall mounted.
What I need to do is this: net browsing, photo editing, TV and DVD watching, iTunes malarkey, radio streaming, general office work.
The TV watching is going to be the most important in terms of performance issues; I really don't want to have it stuttering. I would get one of the recommended USB devices from the Apple store, either the EyeTV for DTT stick or Miglia TV mini. I've already got an external 7200 firewire HD drive I'd hook up with the system.
The question, given my budget, is this: Single core with 2GB RAM or Dual Core with 1GB RAM. They're pretty much the same in UK money, but what's better for perfomance? I like to future proof as much as possible, so I'm favouring the Dual Core, but I know OS X loves RAM.
Your thoughts appreciated - cheers!
