I'll be upgrading from the original Xbox soon and I was hoping to go with a Mac Mini, but a few questions first:
1. Now that XBMC supports multi-core video decoding is the 1.66GHz Core 2 Duo Mini sufficient for 720p? I'm not worried about 1080p at all, but I want to be able play all 720p x264 videos without problems and the 1.66GHz Mini is $200 cheaper.
2. After 2 years on the Xbox I really like using the original Xbox controller to control XBMC instead of a remote (the triggers are indispensable for scrolling through long lists). Is it possible to use it on XBMC for Mac? I tried searching but could not find anything.
