Mac Mini 2.53 or 2.66? - Blu-ray Forum

Hammie · 12-13-2009, 08:55 PM

I'm probably getting one after Christmas. IS there a significant difference for $135? I'll primarily be using it as an iTunes hub for my Apple TV, but may install Lightroom to see the Apple versus PC difference.

Either way I will be getting the 4GB memory and 500GB hard drive.

Would I benefit from the Server version? I know I would have to add a superdrive with it.

Thoughts?

If you've already decided I'd just go ahead and get the faster processor. You probably wouldn't see any real difference like night and day, but if you started multi-tasking with it then you'd see some improvement especially with the 4gb of ram.

My opinion would be: you wouldn't see a significant improvement by getting the 2.66.
