... why better than a PC? I think it is because the hardware is reliable, and stock. I installed OS from M$ purchased over internet. No bloatware and 3rd party fancy audio drivers, etc. No garbage to wade through and *try* to remove from your system. Very easy installation, and Flex radios came right up. I haven't tried installing the latest PowerSDR yet, since I've seen so many driver issues popping up in user reports. I'll wait till the storm passes.
My Mini has 4 GB of RAM. Mini about 2 years old now. Firewire is consistent and rarely shows problems with deferred interrupts, unlike my Dell laptops. Latest versions of Minis might not even have Firewire, using Thunderbolt or whatever they call it. But a cable inline adapter makes these work on Firewire devices just fine. Using them (inline Firewire adapters) on an outboard MOTU 828mk3 and an external Glyph hard drive in the studio here just fine. - de Dave, N7AIG On Jun 9, 2013, at 10:35 AM, David McClain <[email protected]> wrote: > Works better than a PC -- run MacMini with Bootcamp / Win7.
