So how does it go with H.264 1080p video?
Got a tip for us?

This is the hard drive that comes with it, System Profiler reports SDRAM, no mention of "SO-DIMM"
I will try out some video once software update is done

Does that mean that we can't even add RAM to it? I don't like that either, because it means I will have to pay Apple their full overinflated price for RAM. Oh well, nothing is perfect. If this graphics chipset isn't a total dog, I still want one.

Time to sell my Dual G5 + nVidia 6800 Ultra DDL then seems like a waste of money when a $600 machine can play H.264 just as well.
(btw the is for how lame Apples PPC video drivers are not you).

well i'm trying to figure it out now before mine ships so i can beef it up to 2GB CTO before they get it out the door. it could very well be that the RAM in the original minis was also considered to not be a user serviceable part. anyone with a PPC mini that can confirm or deny this?
yoda13 said:Wow. That suprises the heck out of me. I am in a state of disbelief. I was not expecting this...
I'd like to see it confirmed since I've used these integrated video cards in Windows before and there is no way in hell they can even play 720p. This was on dual core CPUs before you ask. Both wmv hd and H.264 sucked using this integrated Intel, so if this is true it is damn right amazing imo.

well thank god. i was worried they would put a POS Western Digital in there. yuck. Seagate makes me happy.

There's also Apple+Shift+4 which lets you select the rectangle to grab, or Apple+Shift+4 then Spacebar which lets you select a particular window to grab.
I'm almost certain that PPC Mini's were not officially user serviceable either. I doubt Apple would promote prying off the lid with two thin putty knives, which I think is pretty much the only way people have been able to get it open.

xterm, i'd like to see you run XBench with the hard disk and memory options disabled, along with the beam sync thing off. please?

What I'd like to know even more is - If this is the case why the hell do my nVidia 6800 Ultra DDL drivers suck so badly? Considering my DDL cost more than a Mac Mini.
