Do you have a Mac Mini with Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo with 1,66 or 1,83GHz? And you let run him 24/7? Maybe you let run Alex KanÃ‚Â´s application? You have no problems with the cooling/ overheating? I saw on some pictures that the hot airflow will go from the middle laterally through the CPU heatsink and on the back out of the Mac Mini... Where he get the new (cold :-) air? From the all sides around the box? (On the bottom around of the box there are small openings/ splits... (I saw... or for what are they?)) And he is quiet, when you let run S@H 24/7 or the fan "make loud music"... ;-) Greetings! ID: 451428 ·

Is here nobody who have a Mac Mini who can answer me? :-( I know, from the overview (boincstats.com & berkeley) that there are a few around! :-) A small question to the others... How much power consumption have your Mac Mini? On a test a saw 43 Watt (full load), that is however very improbable, or? Greetings! ID: 453665 ·

How much power consumption have your Mac Mini? On a test a saw 43 Watt (full load), that is however very improbable, or? Several test in PC magazines indeed show a power consumption of 40 Watts (full load without CD/DVD). And it is pretty quiet, fans run with approx. 2300 rpm. Don't know about SETI performance (don't run it). Nice machine, really ... ID: 453670 ·

About the performance I said here a little bit... :-) I hope somebody who have a Mac Mini will see this thread too! :-) Greetings! ID: 453681 ·

Hi Dirk I am running Seti 24/7 on an old G4 1.25GHz MacMini and there is no problem with overheating or strong noise... Very stable and productive using Alex Kans applications. The Intel version should be even more quiet and consuming less Power... I want to wait until the Core 2 Duo version comes out before I buy one... ;-) Chris Bosshard Visit my homepage astroinfo SETI page ID: 453934 ·

The Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo with 1,66 or 1,83GHz is available now! :-) When I let run only S@H, how much memory is needed/ will be good? Because on my AMD K8 3200+, SUSE Linux 10.1 -64Bit in KDE, OS & S@H use nearly the whole 768MB... In console only ~420MB... 2x512MB will be good? (every Core(TM) 512MB:-) Greetings! BTW. I can use 'Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger' in two "versions" like Linux, too? ID: 453965 ·

The crunching times are about 2.5 hours for a standard angle rate WU (about 60 or 65 credits). - It outperforms the 3 GHZ P4 very well. For normal working 512 could be OK. But after I have upgraded to 1,25 GB memory is lot performanter for working. If you post your questions to the MacOS Help Desk Forums you could get a lot of more awnsers, because a lot of peoples only read the MacOS Forums. The MacBook, MacBook Pro and iMacs are are available with Core 2 Duo CPUs. But I am not shure if/when the Mac Mini will be released with the new CPU. ID: 454120 ·

Since the core duo is rated at 35W you'd need near 100% power supply efficiency to get at 40W (from mains, that is....) Regards Hans ID: 454162 ·

Regards Hans Merom is rated at 35 Watts, Yonah is still 31 Watts. I don't have a web link, I read it in c't. And even if it consumes 45 or 50 Watts in total it is still a great cruncher in relation to it's power consumption. ID: 454173 ·

I'll have to check out these iMac power supplies :o) Regards Hans ID: 454178 ·
