Yep that explains a lot. I recently had a bad experience with a Mac Mini when it comes to performance.
Time to save up for an iBook or powerbook. BTW, how much RAM can the Mac Mini have?

Nick, how could 2 GB of RAM not be enough? Perhaps I will upgrade my Mac again, just to get it over 1 GB - seems to be a safe point.
Matthew, I'm not sure how much RAM a Mac Mini can have - and that's one reason I am hesitant in purchasing a Mac Mini - I want to be "assured" that I can easily add more RAM, whenever I feel like it - and with ease. My desktop G4 makes it easy to add RAM - just open it up, and put the new RAM in. The Mac Mini seems "locked up." I'm not sure how accessible the "inner compartments" are.

Up until a couple months ago, I was still running on 128 MB RAM on my Windows machine. Though I hardly ever run very intensive applications on my home machine, so it's not that bad. Though it was pretty awful anytime I ran IDEA (Java IDE).

If there’s one thing that Apple skimps on, it’s RAM.

I just got my first Mac not to long ago. I upgraded to 1.5 GB of RAM, which I thought was still not enough. Of course, this is because I am used to working on a Windows system and it has 2.0 GB of RAM which runs like a snail with a crutch... no, seriously.
