  How a Mac Mini can beat a quad-core Vista behemoth
Time: 23:53 EST/04:53 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes: Here's a tale of how a humble Mac Mini system outperformed my cutting-edge quad-core system. It’s also a story of how Apple can’t write good software for the Windows platform.

The other day I was chatting to George Ou about professional grade digital SLR cameras that offer 1080p video capability. He then mentioned how his system (an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz PC system with an NVIDIA 8800GT GPU) couldn’t handle 1080p H.264 QuickTime movies.
