The spec makes it pretty clear that nodes need to be G5's. They also need gig ethernet. Does the mini have gigE or just 100 Mbit? Memory is also limited to 1GB, which isn't great, either. They'd certainly be useful for running virtual instruments which could be controlled via midi from a logic host, though. Do they have digital audio out or would it require a USB or firewire audio adaptor? It would make such a great home theater PC that I have to assume that it will have some form of digital audio out. I've got 2 gigs of RAM and a 1.25Ghz G4 in my powerbook and I can run a surprising number of virtual instrument tracks, depending upon the instrument. Seems like a good way to offload all virtual instrument to another machine (or two or three) leaving the logic host free for live audio, effects, and midi input. --sam --- GAmoore@... wrote: > Hey did you see the new Apple mini?
