I have a Mac Mini.Kid_Eternity said:Ahh the joys of the Mac Mini eh?
Currently I have Safari (6 tabs), Safari again (3 tabs), Microsoft Messenger, iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, Thunderbird, and NeoOffice, as well as Dashboard with about 12 widgets running.
I would never have managed that on my old XP PC.

cmd x6 (2 remote and one is really active perl)
3 putty (2 ssh, 1 pop3)
VNC X1
VMware x3
Firefox (lots and lots of tabs in three windows)
Wordpad (has the manual for Blat open in it)
winRAR (has Blat.zip open)
explorer (6 windows, 2 remote)
UltraEdit (8 tabs)
Outlook (with four little meeting requests)
Sametime
Windows Task Manger
NTfileMON
regMON
WinHEX
CygWin
Kmail
SBAdmin
Not all those are the main desk top cause all the Office type stuff, Outlook, Sametime, Firefox (this one at least) are stuffed into a Virtual Machine as is the monitoring I'm doing of the behaviour of another VM while test my program on it. All on one computer though.

OK, I'm at work so working on a windows box and three Linux boxes (two in the office and one at home):
On the windows box I have:
Opera (~60 tabs)
8 PuTTY sessions
3 gVim windows
Two Access DB's (ugh)
Adobe Acrobat
Eudora
Two IM sessions
Seven explorer windows
An image in GIMP I've not closed yet
Remotely, I have three Postgres terminals open, a batch job of Ghostscript running, an MPEG4 -> DVD transcode running and another Opera session running from my home box via a Windows X server, since my PG SQL server can only be accessed from my home LAN.

I reckon you could do twice that on a PC costing the same as your mini.
