upgrade from hackintosh to Mini

-

right now, have hackintosh, looking upgrade mini. among reasons lack of sound , no flash support.

hackintosh:
3.2 ghz q8200 quad core 2mb cache cpu
nvidia 9800 gtx
4gb ram

[​img]

i'm split between 2.7 dual core , 2.0 quad. says quad core faster. don't see how. having 8 cores @ 2.0 vs 4 cores @ 2.7 obvious, i'm thinking if i'm driving 2 monitors, integrated gfx going drink bit of cpu+ram system, whereas 2.7 has dedicated gpu. 8gb going must.

have triple monitor system, 2 driven box, , third off usb displaylink box.

varied array of things. when took screenshot, making 35-shot panoramic shot wound being 85,000 pixels wide. don't have cs yet, using gimp. i'm photographer (mainly motorsports everything), cad drawer (granted pro-engineer doesn't have osx version, started college mech.engineering student), graphic artist, web master (my day job), computer science/programmer (what i'm getting degree in), ect. don't game much, , don't know games can played on osx. i'm looking all-around better system future proof, take updates, , work.
 

the mini, though powerful, might not usage state, in opinion.

mid-range imac suit best, cs , cad work think.
