| Well, a little update. My mini had 256MB RAM and I've swapped units, so my unit is going back and I'm keeping the 512MB machine for myself.
I did notice it felt slow but I reinstalled it. Now it runs like lightning, I'm chuffed to bits and really pleased. My partner is still going for a Dell for 6 months or so then is planning to get a G5 and use the Dell as a headless machine via Remote Desktop.
I think something was wrong somewhere, probably with all the installations/removals and God knows what else. I don't think a G5 is the answer myself, just spending some time learning how it works and getting used to something other than Windows.
As for me, so far so DAMN good, no spinning ball, no lags - it just works!
