I had a Mac Mini 2.0ghz with 2gb of ram... wasn't really that impressed with the performance tbh, but then I've got quite a nice desktop pc to compare it to... sold the mac mini after a month.
Regarding DAW's... I've been using Steinberg Cubase since 1996 and have a love/hate relationship with it to this day! If I were starting from scratch, and wasn't so entrenched in my Cubase ways, I'd definitely be using Ableton Live. I don't particularly rate Logic, but then I guess I just prefer the way that Live and Cubase can manipulate audio files. I'd also look at Renoise, if only it had a piano roll!
