It's all about having SATA instead or IDE and something for power.

I'm going to wait for Snow Leopard to be released before I buy any more Macs.
I've a sneaky feeling that with Snow Leopard still a year off, Apple might still have some surprises in store on their headless range.

Tell me about it. I was hoping that we could put the new Core 2 Extreme 9300 Quad Core CPU inside of the new edition of the Mini, since it operates off the 1066MHz FSB and uses a far better video chipset, etc. It really could have been quite a little server, or quite a champion in the way it was meant, especially with Dual Monitors. |

I'm pretty sure that uses a different socket than the mobile chips. |
