I'll wait for lion because I'm anyway still saving up and it's not urgent. The reason for thinking a mini will be fine is because I'm currently running a pc with a 2.5 GHz dual core cpu and 2 GB ram and I'm recording fine. The mini can go up to 2.8 or 9 GHz dual core with 8 GB RAM, but please tell me what you guys think will I be fine with a mini? Another thing, is there something like 32 and 64 bit on a mac? would I be able to use 64 bit software designed for pc and mac and get the most from it on a mini?
