Hey everyone,
as soon as Snow Leopard comes out - or at least before Fall i plan to upgrade my Mac Mini's HDD and Processor.
i want to add in a 2.33GHz T7600 Intel Core 2 Duo
and a 500GB 7200RPM HDD.
Does anyone here recommend doing this (4-600$) upgrade - or am i better off getting an updated Mac Mini?
I am planning to use this as my 'media center' in my living room in a few months.
it would be plugged into a 1080p 40" LCD HDTV - and i'd use it for playing DVD's, movies/tv shows off Netflix and a surfthechannel account... the basics.
would i really benefit THAT much by doing the processor swap? i figure it might help a little because (according to my research) i can only support 2GB or RAM...
