Do you think this processor could run on the new mac mini?

    Yup..if you want it you got to buy it from the beginning as there will be no upgrading of an existing mini in the future.

    The only PC I've ever upgraded a CPU on was my original P90 to a P133. I bought my Quicksilver with every intention of doing a G4 upgrade until I realized that a new G4 mini was about the same price.



    I have a socketed 1.8Ghz mini that I briefly entertained the idea of upgrading to a 2.16Ghz C2D. That's still a $300+ upgrade. I could get a netbook or half of a new mini for that.



    So I bought a new mini and a new netbook.

    Pathetic display of gearslut behavior vinea. U most go and repent at silicon mountain.





    I may take my 1.66 CD to a 2Ghz C2D. The jump for me would be more significant

    because i'm going from Yonah to Merom architecture.

    Can anyone confirm if the CPU is soldered on or glued?

    Users may be forced to pay Apple for a CPU upgrade however, as the processor is now soldered to the logic board. Some owners of previous Minis are said to have kept systems current by swapping in new CPUs.

    I know...I'm still speakin' a couple octaves higher myself. Is there ever really a reason to solder a CPU in a desktop? I know laptops have done it before but they are mobile and thus jostled around.
