What is the difference between a 1.83 and a 2.0 system Mac mini?

Question

will one out perform the other by that much ?

Answer 1

The 2.0 comes with a SuperDrive (reads and writes DVDs.

It also has a 120GB hard drive and 4MB level 2 cache.

The 1.83 comes with a Combo drive, which only reads DVDs.

It comes with an 80GB hard drive and 2MB level 2 cache.

The 2.0 will be a bit quicker when using processor intensive apps such as Photoshop.

If you are using it for “regular” use such as internet, music and movies, email and such, you probably won’t notice it.

Answer 2

Its a negligible difference. It really wont matter.

What i would care about is which one has more RAM.
