If anyone knows of working audio drivers for the Intel-based Mac Minis that work with Vista RTM, please let me know via my website (www.kinyonsoftware.com) Thank you.

Sorry Sean, I don't actually have the Mini any longer. I'll be posting something about that soon. I tried one or two 720p videos while I had Vista installed, and didn't experience any problems. That said, I couldn't find any working sound drivers...

It's worth keeping in mind that Shuttle's recently released mini PCs - the Mini X 200 series - use the same integrated Intel graphics as the Mac Mini (GMA950). If Shuttle have created a machine specfically designed for Media Center, and built around this chipset, it should be fine.

I'd be interested to know if there are any performance issues playing back high-def (720p at least) video via Vista's Media Center when you get a chance.

Cheers

Hi

I'd really like to know what your experience is with the Mac Mini's video playback performance using Vista's Media Center. In particular can you playback high-def content (720p at least) without any performance hiccups?

Cheers
