Mac Mini Recommendation

(1/3) > >>

mstan:
I am replacing my '09 Mac Mini because the fan or something is failing making lots of noise.  So do I need the quad core model for MC19 Red October HQ?   I have been able to run everything on current Mini except for RO HQ mode and a few interlaced videos under regular mode.

Just so you know, most parts are available.  Not that expensive either.

I hear they are hard to open up especially the model I have.  I had this problem a month ago, took it to the Apple store where they found nothing; since then it has run fine 'til now.

The older Macs were certainly a pain to get into, but there's no need to replace the system over a cheap part like that.
 
iFixit has clear step-by-step guides for each model.

Ok, I'll take a stab at fixing it.  But if I were to get a new one would the quad core be necessary to run MC19 to the max?
