New Mac Mini coming-questions about cables
Well, I just purchased a Mac mini through the online Apple Store. It is 3.0GHZ Dual Core i7-16GB with 2 TB Fusion Drive.
I read that you need CAT6 Ethernet Cable to transfer the files, etc through Migration from the old PC to the new. So, I will have to get one.
Here is my set up-I have Time Warner Cable and so I have the Cble Modem first and then next on the line is my Netgear router-N150 WNR1000 and then it is the computer.
Looks like I will need to change my ethernet cables- from the Netgear to the computer especially with the mac mini coming. I have had that cable quite a few years and it looks like it needs replacing. So, would I replace it with a CAT6? What about from the Cable Modem to the Netgear-would I go ahead and replace that one as well? So, it would be all consistant.
I also notice on the board here that alot of people are having the problem with not being able to wake up the display, etc with the mac mini. It seems to be all of the machines? What would be the best hook up with the display?
I have a new Asus LCD Monitor-the hook ups on back are: HDMI DVI, and VGA. What would be the best?
I have my own CD/DVD player-Samsung so I will use that as well.
I would appreciate any advice on the hook ups and cables.
Thank you.
