Since the new Mac Minis can be configured with Core i7 processors, I was wondering if there is anything about these that would make them unsuitable for running Logic, with the long-term goal of possibly connecting a Virus or other hardware to it.

I know the new mini meets system requirements for Logic, so I'm not asking if the software will run, I'm looking for any pros or cons (mostly cons since the obvious pro is that the mini is very cost effective system). For example, I know the Core i7s in the mini are only dual core, but supposedly Logic doesn't exploit 4 cores anyway, so perhaps not an issue? I also wonder if the Core i7 would be able to consistently achieve max potential (run in TurboMode) in such a constrained case, especially if I put a 7200 rpm drive in it.

I see folks running Logic on a Macbook so I assume the Mini is no more limiting than a laptop?

Since the new Minis ship with Lion, is that going to be a problem for current version of Virus OS? (I'm not even sure how compatible the latest version of Logic is with it)

All suggestions appreciated.
