The Mac mini 'Core 2 Duo' 2.66 (Mid-2010) technically is a 'configure-to-order' configuration of the Mac mini 'Core 2 Duo' 2.4 (Mid-2010), but also is documented as a separate model for reader convenience. Other than processor, these two models are identical.
The Apple Mac mini 'Core 2 Duo' 2.66 (Mid-2010/Aluminum Unibody) features a 2.66 GHz Intel 'Core 2 Duo' (P8800) processor, a 3 MB on-chip level 2 cache, a 1066 MHz frontside bus, 2 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-8500) memory, a 320 GB 3 Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, a slot-loading 8X double-layer 'SuperDrive', and a NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256 MB of memory shared with the system.
Connectivity includes an HDMI and a Mini DisplayPort, a Firewire '800' port, four USB 2.0 ports, combined 'audio line in (digital/analog)' and combined 'audio line out/headphone (digital/analog)' minijacks, a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port, built-in AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, in addition to an SD (SDXC) card slot.
Unlike earlier Mac mini models, which use a polycarbonate case, the 'Mid-2010' line uses a 'Unibody' case -- milled from a single block of aluminum -- with a 'spin off' black plastic base on the underside that makes it easy to upgrade the RAM. The power supply is integrated as well. All Mac mini systems ship without a display, keyboard, or mouse, but numerous Apple and third-party options are available.

The software requires users to reboot from Mac OS X into Windows. While it is available as a public beta at the moment, Boot Camp will be integrated into Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard,” according to Apple. Boot Camp 1.1.1 improves support for Intel Core 2 Duo-based Macs. Mar 19, 2017  How usable is an 11 year old Mac with the first mobile dual core chip from Intel and 2GB of RAM on Windows 10? There's only one way to find out, by being insane enough to try. Jan 14, 2018  I have an early 2008 MacBook 4,1, with an Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.4GHz, 2GB of RAM (unofficially upgraded to 6GB), and a 160GB HDD. Full specs can be found here. I was having some strange issues when trying to install Windows 7 64-Bit, such as the PC freezing on the 'Starting Windows' screen. Apr 15, 2020  Gameplay run on a 2018 Mac Mini 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, eGPU Radeon RX 580 8 GB - using Windows Boot Camp. Jul 01, 2013  Now at this Mac, from about this Mac it states that the processor is a 2 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo - as stated it has 4gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Look a the More Info section, Also on Snow Leopard the version of Boot Camp is 3.0.4 so I am confused over the link and table details you have posted saying that boot camp needs to be 4 for vista? The early Intel-based white MacBooks from 2006 and 2007 came either with the 32-bit Intel Core Duo processor (MacBook1,1) or the 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo (MacBook2,1). The firmware interface in both models is however 32-bit UEFI. Debian installer releases for Jessie have UEFI support only in the amd64 ISO images.
