Stucki also claims that the optical drive in the Mini, which is currently an IDE drive, will be replaced by a SATA optical drive, allowing for better performance

Hmmmmm well that discredits Stucki right away

Lets see now, even at 20x DVD(I have yet to see slimline drives like those in the Mac Mini over 8x) you are talking only a little over 27 megabytes/sec. This is far under the 133megabytes/sec offered by the PATA standard.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I even had that line copied and ready to post but I read your comment and saw that you saw the same thing. What a 'tard Stucki must be (j/k).

the new mac mini is confirmed to use the Atom 333 processor on Nvidia's Ion platform...wouldn't this be a huge leap BACKWARDS in performance? please let me know if im missing something here.
