Hey guys:

I just bought this mac mini (xmas gift cards and alot of hitting refresh on apple.com) http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC238LL/A?afid=p201|2646295&cid=AOS-US-AFF-FEED#overview

It's a 2.26 IC2D
2GB of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM

Do I need to do anything in order to run Boxee (primarily to see my downloaded movies and 1080p/i quality videos)?

Is there anything I won't be able to do with Boxee?

Thanks guys.

There have been problems with mac mini's when running a secondary screen... No universal solution of which i'm aware.


Consider installing candelair if you plan to use an apple remote...

Can you elaborate or lead me in the right direction to read more about the above. I'm now highly intrigued.
