I am planning on doing a mac mini colocation. I can't decide if the i5 2.3 model or the i7 2.0 model will fit my needs. I'd be upgrading whichever one I get to 8gb, so ram and disk space isn't important.
I will be using standard osx server features like a mail server, mamp server, etc. I also want to run a virtual machine to run a linux server that will run game servers like TF2, Counterstrike, and Minecraft.
My main concern is if a 2.3ghz i5 will be able to handle this because I'd like to save the money. My game servers would be pretty low traffic like 10 people between all three servers. So do you think a 2.3 with 8gb of ram would do?
