Dear CCP4BB

I'm thinking about buying a Mac Mini and was looking for advice from people who have used these for crystallography.

We don't need the computer to do serious number-crunching as we have back-end servers that can do this for us, so it is primarily for running coot for model building, etc. and low intensity crystallography jobs.

I've seen from the archive that some people do use the Mac Mini for crystallography and I've got two questions:
1. Do I need the Quad core or is a Dual core processor enough?
2. Is the intergrated Intel HD graphics card OK for crystallography requirements?

All the best,
Cara.
