I've just bought a 32" HD LCD screen, and I'm looking for a HD source to use with it.
My PowerBook G4 just isn't cutting the mustard - it's pretty jerky on the MPEG2 720P files I've tried, and there just isn't a hope with h.264.
So I'm thinking of picking up a second hand Mac Mini Core Solo, which I'm hoping to be able to get for around £250 with the recent speed bumps. Does anyone have an experience of HD playback on one of these? Is it good enough?
My other uses aren't that demanding, just using Front Row to stream music from my iMac, and possibly picking up and EyeTV box for it.
Cheers for any help
