Almost plan on rush out to get a Core 2 Duo Mac Mini, but then...

I knew I kept saying that I will get a Mac Mini as soon as Apple release a Core 2 Duo version of Mac Mini. Well, Apple finally released it today. I was so excited that I called the Apple Store near my workplace to make sure that they have it in stock. Just when I am so hyped up and so ready to pick up one after work, my rational side kicked in, and so I did some research, and found a few things that may force me to think twice before shelling out my money:

- I need to first grab a USB Keyboard since I don't have it at home.
- Graphic capability of MacMini is kind of lame as it shares 64Mb memory with main memory. It doesn't fill up my 20 inch LCD wide screen monitor though.
- The memory setting stinks. I was planned on getting a 1Gb version, and it's made up of 2 512Mb memory. So in order to get to 2Gb later, I need to throw away my 2 512Mb memory and then plug the new memory in.
- Mac doesn't support NTFS external harddisk.

So .... need to think twice.
