Well I broke down and finally got myself a Core Duo Mini 512MB 60GB, The Intel GMA 950 graphics are really decent, Ive been playing the sims 2 with everything on high in 1024x768 resolution. Of course this is in windows xp, but even in the MacOS everything is snappy, Adobe CS2 gives some issues but other than that you get alot of bang for your buck in the Base model mini. My sister just bought one as well and loves it
