1 Gb RAM enough with Mac Mini?

Am I good for ripping and playing with 1 Gb? Machine will be dedicated and run nothing but iTunes.

[I was using a Mac Mini as my digital transport, then decided I should just use one of the two MacBooks always in the area (mine & my wife's). I found that ripping to my 2 Gb 2 Ghz MacBook, Lossless with error correction, I get an average of one dropout every 2-3 tracks if the machine is running ANYTHING else at the time! What a PITA.]

Mac's seem to do better with 2 Gb, and all the magazines tests confirm this, so buy the extra RAM. As for the dropouts, DAMN that sucks!

Do you have the error correction in the preferences panel set to on???

I just ripped a few hundred more discs and have yet to find an error in mine with this one...

Oh, BTW I hope you are ripping to a lossless format as if you aren't, you'll just end up doing it all over again some day..... Trust me from someone who's done his entire music collection twice, it aint fun!
