Hi
I'm buying a actual Mac Mini to replace my G4 Mini.
My question: I'll be using Java applications.
Am I having a big advantage in selecting the better graphics (AMD Radeon HD 6630M) vs the cheaper one (Intel HD Graphics 3000).
I don't see the processor speed as a factor.
After buying I'll upgrade the mini to 8GB RAM.
Any advice, thanks in advance.

I also have a G4 mini and several Intel minis. You mention Java apps and I doubt they will be affected by the graphics you choose. I would think you could get away with the base model. BTW, make sure you upgrade your own RAM. Unlike the older minis, the current model only requires a few screws to upgrade RAM and HDD rather than the putty knives owners of older minis have to deal with.
 
Thanks r0k for your reply and your tip.
I was considering crucial or macdimms.com.
