I cant find anything on this. Xbench's website gives them similar overall benches, but the CPU score for the dual 867 is 107 on average, and the mini is like 150!
what you all think?

I didn't think the PowerMac G4 models ever got bus speeds above 167 MHz, which is the same as the mini. I don't know this for certain, please correct me if I am wrong.dsharits said:They would probably be pretty close, with the Mini having a tiny edge, but the expandability, bus speed and overall power of the Power Mac makes it the better machine.

Ahh, yeah, you're correct. i just checked up on it, and the last of the MDD's had the fastest bus speed at 167 MHz, which is equal to the Mini. Thanks for the correction. I thought that I had seen them go higher than that.feakbeak said:I didn't think the PowerMac G4 models ever got bus speeds above 167 MHz, which is the same as the mini.

I didn't even know they had Battlefield on the Mac. Then again I have no interest in Mac gaming. If you're going to be gaming you need a better graphics card than what the Mac mini has. If you are strapped for cash the Dual 867 MHz is probably not a bad option, but it's also not a great gaming machine either - especially for newer games.Winstonp said:I have the 1.25 mini now.
I was considering some expandability....
My basic activities are:
ichat, word 2-3 docs, itunes playing, 2-3 firefox pages, and stickies running at once.
then, I usually close them all and play battlefield.
what you think is faster?
