Bill,

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. 

Cheers,
Warren

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

Thanks.
