... to Mac OS (probably).

A couple of months ago I had to move my 6-core MacPro from the living room to a different room. Hence, I was looking for an alternative XBMC box. I ended up with a Win7 box and was quite pleased at the very beginning (mainly because of the automatic refresh rate switching). But after using that thing for a couple of weeks now, I'm thinking of returning to a Mac (or maybe an Xtreamer with openelec; not to bad either). I simply feel like a traitor every time I boot into windows...

So, after reading this thread, did I understand correctly that

1. ...the perfect Thunderbolt XBMC-MacMini is the one with AMD graphics and i5 CPU?

2. ...there is no need for the additional i7 power? 2.5GHz i5 is enough?

3. ...the Mini with intel graphics has 24p problems?

4. ...the AMD graphics Mini in principle can do HD-Audio; as for now only under Win7?

5. ... there is a chance that automatic refresh rate switching will be implemented in Frodo?

I love Mac OS X and I don't like windows. Smile
