c) mac mini: stuck with a 2.0ghz core 2 duo (god forbids someone buys a mini instead of an imac...). Ah, the RAM is painful to upgrade (requires full disassembly) and they charge you an arm and a leg for the extra gb of ram on the 2gb mini. But hey, good news here: dual display support out of the box and FW800 instead of FW400.

Luckily, I know my way around the inside of a Mac Mini. They're a little tricky, but much better than trying to get at anything except the RAM in an iMac.

I'm just trying to decide whether I should buy and upgrade the el cheapo Mini to 3 GB for $750 CAD or pay a little over $800 for 4GB and a matched pair boost.

 

I've heard the matched pair boost is less noticeable depending on the specific architecture and type of ram used, so you might want to check that first.
