    It looks like you need an early 2009 or later. Which is 2ghz or later. A 1.4 looks like it isn't even Intel.

    The latest 2014 entry level model of the Mac Mini is a 1.4ghz intel Dual core i5, and should be able to run GameSalad fine... If that's the one he means.
    He needs to be careful though... The 2014 models have been designed with everything soldered onto the motherboard... So once bought, cannot be upgraded with extra memory etc like the previous versions could. So if he buys the 4gb memory version... That's what he's stuck with forever, unless he's happy to get out his soldering kit!
    With the price Apple charge for the memory upgrade at point of purchase being about 4x what the memory costs from anywhere else, your probably better off buying a 2012 i5 version and buying your own additional 3rd party memory.
