Two articles about the Intel Mac Mini: "As a fan of faster computers from Apple, I'm heartened by this week's release of an Intel-based Mac mini. In fact, with the SPECint_rate_base2000 benchmark indicating speeds of up to four times faster than the Mac mini G4, this new crop of minis sounds just about perfect. I say 'just about', because of one particular issue." And secondly, "Our first Intel-based Mac minis have arrived, straight from the Apple Store, and what was the first thing the cold, cruel alien intellects at Macworld did with one of these innocents? That's right. We got out our putty knife, popped it open, and spilled its guts out." Here are some XBench tests between an Intel and a G4 Mac Mini.

Write in haste and irritation, aplogise at leisure!
You are right and I was wrong.
What's on the site for around 60 Sterling in the 1G size, is PC 4300 533Mhz. If you go to the Crucial site
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.asp?Mfr%2BProductline...
the 1G in PC 5300 is Sterling 120.
Sorry.
210 Sterling still seems an awful lot for 1.5G though...
