Yes, I need. As I see it, has not Apple and Mac something to do on an amiga forum, whatever morphOS mean.


You bring this up constantly, we have heard you, but I for one do not agree with you.
 
Now to the OP I got a Mac Mini 1,42GHz and I think it's great with 1GB of ram in MorphOS:)
I saw a quite big diffrence between 512MB RAM and 1GB but then I use RAMDisk alot :)

I download files there before copying them to HD (SFS framgents too badly if you have simultaneus downloads).

I unpack program archives there for installing (useless to have them on HD if it has separate installer).

I give test run for unpacked games etc from ram: if they are worth to keep or not (useless copies to HD again if I only want to run it once and get rid off it after that).

I throw all kinds of temp/test files there (image/video/audio processing stages)... etc.. :)


I use it for exactly the same :)
also temp storage for when I edit files.

Good  for you. I use Windows until it's a better  solution.
As I said in the deleted  post, I would not have had an Apple Mac, even if they threw it after me.


There is a better solution. Linux, been around a while you know ;)

@OP - If you want it cheep I would buy an eMac 1,25GHz and remove the CRT and put a nice TFT on it instead, if you want something to do you could build a custom case for the eMac and use it as an external computer :) Also you can have 2GB of RAM in the eMac :)

Myself is either planning on removing the top plexi of the Mini and saw a red plexi top for it instead and engrave MorphOS and a logo in it, or ill just scrap the Mini case and start from scratch, ill do this when I got time :)
