    The new Ivy Bridge Mac Minis will be announced on Monday, Oct 23. Is it worth getting the server version for the quad core processor, without the dedicated graphics--to enable better performance with Parallels? Thus, I could provide 4 logical CPUs to the Mac and 4 to Parallels to run Windows 7 Pro.

    Or just go with the dual core option with a faster processor and dedicated graphics?

    Will go with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD.

    Just ordered a Quad core Ivy Bridge Mac Mini. Question: is there a noticeable improvement in Parallels performance running in a RAID 0 configuration?

    Assumption: plain disk 64-100GB in size?
