Hello,
Having gotten a taste of Apple with my MacBook, I'm looking to rid myself of Windows entirely by replacing my desktop PC.
There are two interesting options so far:
1) iMac G4, model PowerMac 4.2, 800MHz
15-inch display
L2-cache 256MB
768 MB RAM
hard disk 60GB
superdrive
video card NVidea GeForce MX 32MB
airport card
Apple speaker-balls
MacOS X 10.4.9
350 EURO
2) Mac Mini G4 1.42 Ghz
256 MB RAM
80GB hard disk
350 EURO
Are the sound cards on these equivalent?
I like the form factor of the iMac, but I wonder if they are robust. The Mac Mini of course would also require a monitor and keyboard.
Are there likely to be better options in this price range?
I'm not into gaming and don't need any heavy graphics power, just something that can network with my Airport Extreme, for use with internet, e-mail, word processing, and iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
