I am looking to get the mid level mac mini with the upgraded 2.6 i7 CPU. I will be adding 16GB RAM myself as well as 2 internal SSD drives (512GB Crucial M4 for boot drive, and 256GB Crucial M4 for Lightroom/PS cache). Can I expect this setup to be a good deal faster than my current 2008 Mac Pro:
2 x 2.8 quad core (8-core total)
10GB 800mhz RAM
512GB 7200RPM boot drive
Radeon HD 2600 256mb video card
I am hoping that with the new Ivy bridge i7 CPU, double the memory speed (1600mhz vs 800mhz), and SSD drives in the mac mini that it will smoke my current setup.
Thanks for any input!
