Unlikely -- the new Mini's have Intel GMA950 Graphics Processor and =
there is no upgrade available.  In the PC world, Intel-based OpenGL =
systems are plagued by poor performance and compatibility problems.  It =
would surprise me if that wasn't the case with the Mac Minis too as =
well.  I've never heard of Intel supporting stereo-graphics.

As for the MacBook Pro laptops, caution is also warranted -- watch the =
discussion boards for reports from early adopters.

Though I strongly endorse Mac OS X as an operating system for scientific =
visualization, the only Mac computer systems I can recommend purchasing =
right now (based on personal experience) are: (1) the iMac Core Duo, and =
(2) the PowerMac G5 Quad with the Quadro FX 4500.=20

Cheers,
Warren

Does anyone know if the new intel min-macs support stereo, either by =20
default or after being fitted with an appropriate video card?  The =20
idea of chucking my O2s and replacing them with mini-macs is quite =20
appealing...

Thanks.
