Request a Comparison between any two Macs Computer Trade In Program
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Shane,
** This application does not run native on the Intel processor
A note on performance: The Dual Core machine is clearly much faster in certain respects, but it maybe overkill for the type of work you do. If you are into demanding games the Mac mini is not the machine for you. Photoshop currently runs poorly on the Intel chip, but that should change soon, once the application is updated.
The processor & graphics card scores above are based on CineBench 9.5 (email us to request the actual point scores for these machines)
http://www.cinebench.com/
The game test was obtain by running EVO2 4X4

If you have follow up questions about these results contact us again
Disclaimer: Remember to treat all benchmark scores with caution, and do not rely on performance scores from us in making mission critical decisions. We endeavor to make the information we provide as accurate as possible, but make no direct or expressed guarantee that this is the case

I would like to see a test between the intel Core Dual Mac mini 1.66GHz vs. the G5 Dual 2.0GHz PowerPC.
I want to be able to use it for basic home use as well as some graphic design and digital painting.
