Bill, if one core is working for you and not giving you any trouble, go for it.
My experience is definitely that a single-core Windows VM is a lot more
sluggish than I’d like. It works, but it’s not at all pleasant once you start
using the machine full-time, even with all the background servic
mmend. Doesn't make sense to me.

So the difference between an I5 and I7 is the I7 is a more advanced and better
performing chip. I’m not sure but I don’t think the I5 is available in quad
core configurations, for sure the I5 is in dual core configuratio

Hi Bill.
I should have been clearer that the 2012 Mac Mini did offer a quad-core option.
And yes, giving just one core to an OS will work, but will not be quite as
fluid as at least a dual-core virtual machine. So yes, if you’re planning on
virtualisation-heavy workloads, look at the portable

I really believe that multicore performance is a good thing to have when doing
virtualisation. No two ways around it: the latest Mac Mini is a downgrade from
its predecessor, because of the dual-core processors. Sure, they’re newer
family chips, but they are still slower. Worse yet, RAM is no

Indeed they do, and the prices are improving.
My Macbook Pro isn't much faster in terms of clock speed than my old laptop.
(Granted, the CPU is 6 years newer or thereabouts, so it's definitely faster.)

I'd always go for an SSD drive, they make an amazing difference. The

Hi.
I am scanning Apple's refurb shop for a new mini. I use Fusion in Windows 7

getting a 2.7gh processor with a fusion drive and 16 gig of memory, or a
2.3gh processor, 16 gig of memory and an SD drive?
