  1. New Mac mini video chipset! Made for Home theater! by Danathar · · Score: 4, Informative

    In case anybody cares...the video chipset on this thing was MADE for home theater! It has hardware motion compensation, MPEG-2 hardware decoding, support for native HDTV resolutions and 16x9 aspect displays..among other nice stuff. It's NOT a big 3d gaming platform but definitely has the stuff for decoding video.

  2. User-installable memory? by pjcreath · · Score: 3, Informative
    According to the Apple Store:
    Mac mini contains 667MHz (PC2-5300) double data rate, synchronous dynamic random-access memory (DDR2-SDRAM), one of the fastest memory technologies available today. Your Mac mini comes standard with two 256MB SO-DIMM chips for a total of 512 megabytes (MB) of memory... You can upgrade your memory later by taking your system to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or doing it yourself.
    This sounds like you no longer have to tear the thing apart simply to upgrade the RAM.
