C'mon folks! These things have no upgrade path
BTW, my grandmother LOVES her new mini. I don't think she
understands what "upgrade" means, nor does she care.
I'll butt in too :)
Both of you have valid points of view.
Look at what I just did:
G4-466 DA - USD400
512 MB RAM - USD96
Pioneer DVR109 (DL)- USD70
120 gig HD (7200/8)- USD70
To do yet
Radeon 9600 (256) - USD200
1.4 Gig G4 - USD300
Total Eventual Damage USD1140
Please don't tell me what them Minis are going for, I have enough
trouble not paying attention as it is :)
Ok, ok, I'll look - USD699
It has over my DA - Faster Ram (at least on paper), an un-upgradable
graphics chip that I am pretty sure will not support Quartz Extreme
2D with only 32megs VRAM, Built in Bluetooth and Airport Extreme and
USB 2 and OSX Tiger and iLife 05 and ..... oh never-mind.
My DA will have over the Mini, Faster HD (For sure), Upgradable
graphics chip that will support QE2D with 256megs VRAM, and if I want
I can upgrade to dual G4s down the road.
And to put things really in perspective, the DA's PSU sings a hum for
the first 10 mins or so after startup, I think if I am lucky, I'll
get another 6 months to a year before I have to replace that.
Regrets ? Absolutely none, I love this stuff, and everyone reading
this list probably does too.
Stupid ? Yeah probably :D
