Mac mini (Late 2005)

Apple updated the Mac mini without an announcement in late September 2005. The processors rose to 1.33 or 1.5 GHz, and the 1.5 GHz model's graphics memory doubled to 64 MB. Hard drives moved to 5400 rpm, and the SuperDrive became an 8x drive that also writes dual-layer DVDs. The case and the ports did not change.
