I haven't used the Core Solo enough yet to know what it's performance is like. Benchmarks on the net give it good marks againsg the PowerBook G4 however - and they were all using only 512MB of memory in the mini. I'd recommend nothing less than 1GB for XCode use (it made a night and day difference on the Core Duo model we're using for development).
Now back on topic... Anyone with a digg account, please hop on over and digg mira:
