I have the previous Mini with 2.0GHz, 4GB Ram, 9400m and an ocz 60GB SSD drive.
In many respects a very fast and quiet machine. I also use it with the latest EyeTV Hybrid and digital cable tv (I too resides in Denmark as the OP) on a 30" Dell dispay at 2560x1600 resolution using a mini displayport to displayport cable.
Watching soccer on a HD channel (DR HD it's called - bitrate is 11mb/s) will cause slight stuttering/jerkiness and I notice CPU utilization at 110-120% (i.e. using more than one full core) - it is certainly watchable but not perfect.
Do I need more CPU power???
Would like the new 2.66 Mini, but find it hard to justify the cost, as my setup is otherwise working nicely. It would however give me an excuse to upgrade to a larger SSD...
