The biggest thing that annoys me is that applied using binned chips in an 1800 dollar machine. The thing should have the full GB of vram in every model and not just the top one. No one else uses binned video cards in machines that cost this much. Heck I have never seen a company that uses binned chips as much as apple. The last mini had that GPU upgrade that had 256mb of vram when the reference design had 1gb. That means that 75% of the ram failed tests and was disabled. That also kills the memory bandwidth and really drops the benchmarks. My friend bought the mini with the GPU upgrade and ended up returning it as it couldn't even run counterstrike source at 60 fps even when you turned the settings down. Its unacceptable to be using rejected chips in premium machines. Apple needs to stop this practice.
