[No Time 4 Love Dr. Jones]

I'm about to buy a new Mac mini and install upgrades (4 GB RAM, 500 GB 7200 RPM), but was wondering about the 2.26 GHz CPU option. Is there any other technology other than a 260 MHz speed bump to it? Extra cache or something else that would make it a worthwhile upgrade? TIA.

(I searched this forum for "2.26 GHz" and "Mac mini 2.26 GHz" but got no results)

P73[57]0 and P7550 have same cache, same FSB, same TDP.

267Mhz speed bump.

Thanks, mduell. I figured as much, but thought I'd ask.

And on those megahertz, hey, I was underclocking for post stability.

post stability?

better to buy the least expensive Mini and then upgrade to 4GB ram and put a 7200 rpm drive in (like the Momentus 7200.4 at 500GB). You will benchmark out faster than the 2.26 on general or blended tests, and will only fall short on really processor chewing tasks.... if processor heavy work is what you want to do... there are more worthwhile options outside of the mini line-up.
