Re Security - I have another PC (Shuttle X) that I use for XP internet access which is well protected.

Is OpenOffice native on a MAC - I've used it on XP and its ok? I also hadn't realised that the HD was 5400. I may have phrased my speed question the wrong way round - I meant an OS that was built for a particular hardware architecture ought to be faster.but I guess your answer covers that re Rosetta.

The first thing I did was set up bootcamp so I was amazed to see that the MAC partition was 2/3 full - I used 30GB for XP so keeping it as FAT32. The mini arrived direct from Apple UK store with 17GB used on the hard drive. Again, resolved largely with more RAM, but it's wise to be aware of the issue so you have some idea of the problem. In most situations you'd not notice, but if Rosetta is grabbing a lot of RAM to run a sizable application, the result is an increase in paging (the virual memory read/write activities) and because the drive is 5400rpm, this can have an impact on system performance. Even then, there are issues that can sometimes slow a Mac down and which might require that you run a little maintenance to get performance back, and the mini does have drawbacks which limit ultimate performance levels to some degree - the 5400rpm hard drive for example. I think this is one of those situations where perhaps the answer is to hurry up and be patient! Not much help I know, but it's not until you start running native applications that you'll get a sense of the performance of the system as it really is.

If you want to get a bit of a flavor of how native software will run in comparison, have a look at Neo Office (open source and free to use) which IS native. Native software runs much, much faster, but Microsoft, like Adobe, aren't releasing native versions of their software for a while yet. maxing out the RAM would help considerably, but Rosetta itself will always be the bottleneck. Like any other on-the-fly translator/emulator, Rosetta has a lot of work to do in real time, so it's not that fast. The reason you get very slow performance from PowerPoint, in MacOS is that Office is not yet native, so yes, it runs under Rosetta, which grabs so much RAM that there's not a whole lot left for the application itself. Ultimately it comes down to which facilitates workflow better, and in my experience that has tended to be MacOS. Where MacOS is written with a significant emphasis on the seamless integration of applications, Windows Xp tends to be more intended to provide a fast interface which gives the impression of better speed. The Intel architecture of the mini is of course no more native to MacOS than it is to Windows, but both operating systems are optimized in rather different ways.

A normal install of MacOS is rather less than that, but you may also be looking at space taken by all the Apps etc. I'll leave questions on the size of OS install to those who run Intel Macs every day, since in my case I only get to set them up, but I wonder what exactly it is your looking at when you are seeing 17Gb used. Windows remains as vulnerable on Intel-macs as it does on any PC, so as long as you are running Windows, even if it were in the old days of Virtual PC on a PPC Mac, you are still in need of the same collection of malware defensive software as ever. The first thing is to say that you cannot abandon the security and protective software at all if you are running XP (or other Windows flavors) on your Mac. Dont get me wrong I'm sure a dual boot Mac is the answer long term but feel I should get more from the hardware. Thanks in advance for any replies - if my post should be elsewhere please point me in the right direction. I've run Speed 20 and got a score of 94.7 - is this about right? Has anyone got a link to a benchmark site that compare MAC XP like for like? A dual Core 1.66 with 1GB RAM ought to do better. Is this really due to Rosetta - I've run emulators on a PC that are faster. Resizing and moving Powerpoint presentations with a few slides open (with large pics in them) makes my mini feel like a Pentium II 400mhz - the images move in stages as if the VRAM is exhausted. Why does software run slower in OS X than in XP? This seems mad for hardware to run slower on its native OS. Questions - Does OS X really have to occupy 17GB of my drive? It was this size when I received it.
So far I've really taken to my Mini but need to clarify issues re hardware performance. I opted for 1GB RAM as I read it was essential.
I boght my Mini as the cheapest option with an Intel chip so that I could try Bootcamp and start to enjoy the web without loads and loads of protection etc. Hi, I'm fairly new to a MAC though I used an Amiga 1200 a long while ago which also uses the Motorolla chip.so I feel at home with the OS.
