[QUOTE="prophetx2, post: 44731, member: 19337"] The speed on the mini is great. The only problem is when I tried enabling the directx support and that stressed the built in video card too much. The rest of the speed was just as good on the mini as it is on my dual core opteron PC. I do not use the timeshifting ability (I don't even currently have cable!) but, may do so in the future after I move in. I honestly watch mostly DVDs and fan subbed anime. I have some 720 h.264 files and those played without a hitch. After installing windows and all the appropriate drivers, the mac mini behaves like a regular PC (it is a PC). You can install any software you wish and any hardware you wish (provided you have drivers). I'll be testing the MCE remote as soon as I get it (i doubt i'll have issues). Overall its an awesome platform and is definately worth considering! [/QUOTE]
