there'll be a difference, but shouldn't be a problem...
i have a powermac g4 867,( L2 256 cache & L3 2 Mb cache, & 217Mhz bus speed)... i have no complaints with performance... the cache is like a 'short term memory'... the more you have, the better the performance... i'd say you have a satisfactory cache. it'll handle whatver you want to throw at it, maybe with some lag time here and there... maybe someone else can elaborate on this issue.??? but for the price you can't go wrong with the mini... |

Until you add some stuff...the base model plus 1GB RAM puts it up to $738, plus keyboard & mouse if you don't have one (which I don't), plus the bluetooth module...so it's $800+.
Still, that's cheaper than the eMac, and MUCH smaller...form factor is a consideration, for sure. |
