Now, back to the core issue - over at another thread, here - of getting the darn 2011 Mini to run Snow Leopard and Rosetta at something approaching full speed, which lots of folks are working on, and I'll be a very happy (if appallingly "retro") Mini user. The change was so dramatic that I was an instant live smiley-face. It's originally from an EyeOne, I believe, or perhaps from another, even better photometric screen-adjustment tool - but it brings the colors instantly into a very fine range that's suitable for quite good photo and video work.

One pleasant surprise for me - and why I immediately jumped to two of those monitors - is the excellent "pro" profile for Macs main available by Samsung online for the P2770FH. Thus my preference for the 2011 Mini model with the dual-core i7 and the Radeon card. And, yes, Quark and Photoshop in all recent varieties run perfectly on it - I pretty much live 24 hours a day in both of those programs. Running two of them side-by-side off of the Mini gives you serious - and I mean serious! - real estate even at the lower of those resolutions, it's fully HD of course at that rez, for video production (I'm running FCP Studio 3 - about to try FCP X) or anything else.

it depends on your budget and on if you like using two screens or about a(t least a) 35% increase in powerĪzdawg99, you're correct in your surmise about the resolutions, etc., on the Samsung P2770FH (a 27" monitor available in limited buy at Sam's Club for $269 each).

you can buy an iMac 3.4 for $2,300 and have a great single screen set-up with more power for more money.

you can buy a mac mini server for $1,000 + 2 28" monitors from newegg(dot)com for $300 each + 8gb ram from amazon for $55 and have a fairly monster set-up for video editing for $1,655 OR.

both machines are owned by the company i work for.after having used both of them for the past couple weeks with FCPX, i will buy my own Mac Mini Server to edit FCPX with WHEN FCPX comes out with an update supporting multiple camera angles.

i am surprised that apple didn't include a dedicated card with a quad core mini.i understand their market was directed towards server users, and therefore they thought a dedicated card wasn't necessary, but they had to understand that many people would want to use a quad core mini for FCPX. i get the impression that the mini server edition would have benefited from a dedicated video card. while it seems a tiny bit "jumpy" in the video preview window when quickly moving around a video, it generally works well. the Mac Mini is adequate, though, as a FCPX machine.the Mac Mini server is definitely slower to add effects, transitions and render in the background than the top end iMac.as you would expect.I am using the Mac Mini 2011 Server (i7 2.0 Quad) with 8gb 1333 Ram to edit with FCPX, and I also have the new iMac i7 3.4 Quad with 8gb Ram and FCPX. Finally, I added two fast 27-inch Samsung monitors (with 1ms refresh, at $269 each at Sam's) with excellent custom color profiles that are tweaked for the Macs (available online).Īgreed, you don't have a quad-core i7! - but, on balance, you WILL have a tricked-out 2.7 GHz dual-core i7 with the AMD Radeon HD 6630M graphics CPU, two fast 7200 rpm drives, 8 GB RAM, and I promise you that it will hummmmmm through Photoshop and Quark, and do very well with most middle-range video projects.įor my purposes (which are much like yours) this combination actually gives me more bang thanks to the powerful graphics chip, and I've spent significantly fewer bucks when all is said and done, leaving me more $$$ for other toys like fast external drives on the Thunderbolt port. It's not hard - the cable you'll need to add another drive to the non-server Mini is available online.

Next, add that second drive! There are plenty of directions on the Web on how to do that with the single-drive Min. Remember, the 2011 Mini can be taken all the way to 16 GB when RAM prices drop a bit (you can do it right now, but it's nearly a grand-and-a-half!!).

Then, buy the 8 GB RAM upgrade from another source (around $80 or less).

Start with the i5 unit that has the Radeon graphics CPU, then choose the optional upgrade to the dual-core i7 plus a fast drive - and that gives you a 2.7 GHz dual-core i7 PLUS the Radeon HD 6630M graphics CPU and a 750 GB 7200 rpm drive. Jamooche, you might want to consider an additional possibility: the optional upgrade path for the non-server i5 Mini 2011.
