While the new Mac Mini appears to boast more RAM, a fair upgrade in video and other items, the processor remains less than one would hope for.
Given this outcome of a "new" Mac Mini, it seems almost a good idea that Linux might be a better option for an OS on the Mac Mini to run XBMC and exploit GPU.
Has anyone tried Linux/XMBC on the new Mac Mini 2.0 or 2.26?
Please post your findings and any improvements on playback of 1080p (dropped frames etc.)
Candidly, I admit to holding back on the long awaited Mac Mini and still concerned about playback of m2ts high bitrate files.
Thanks in advance to those braver than some of us ...
