iMovie was originally created with the iMac in mind. My first Mac was
the original "DV Special Edition" (ie included firewire) iMac
with a
400MHz G3 processor, and it could run iMovie quite happily. The OS has
bloated a little bit since then, but I can still run iMovie on Panther
(OSX 10.3) on the 450MHz G4 in my Cube quite happily. The Mac mini will
be about 3-4x faster...
