Just wondered how people get on with very old mac minis.
I'm getting some very choppy play back. Just got a new TV toshiba
Regza 42XV635DB that finally gets me up to 1080p So my set up is this.
TV
Regza 42XV635DB
Mac mini = 10.5.8
PowerMac 10.1
PowerPC G4 (1.2)
1.42 Ghz
1Gb memory
bus speed 167 Mhz
ROM version 4.8.9f1
XBMC version 10.05.pre
Even older G4 is used as file server and everything runs on a wired network.
No I know I wont be able to get 1080p out of the mini. But would like it to run smooth.
if anyone else has a similar set up gets smooth playback can you give me a heads up on what you have done.
Cheers all.
