sorry to be a total newbie asking this, but.... ive really fallen for macs after getting an iphone, their design and UI has prompted me to buy a mac since my current windows desktop is beginning to show its age. im looking at the mac mini, (id love to have an imac, but i cant afford it.)
my question is, the entry level mac mini is a 2.26 Ghz machine with 2gig of ram. im currently using a 2.6Ghz pentium 4 emachine with 1 gig of ram. this probably sounds foolish, but will i notice a big difference in performance by going with the mac mini? i dont really want to make a lateral move, and i assume it will be a big improvement over what i have, but just wanted to know for sure before i buy.
it seems like macs will do more with less processor, and i asked a mac user in my office about this and he disagreed, but also admitted he didnt know much about his imac, other than "he likes it."
thanx for any insight you can give me.
