Best Answer

Mac OS X manages the disk in an entirely different way than Windows does. According to Apple defragmentation should never be necessary and so they do not provide a defragmentation utility.

I have used 3rd party defragmenters on Macs and although they did reduce fragmentation significantly there was no detectable effect on the computer's performance. This matches Apple's comments on the issue.

Why doesn't Spore work on your Mac mini?

Spore needs a pretty strong system to support it. Newer Mac mini's can do it. Elsewhere a user reported "The only way it will run on my Mac mini (it is stock, NO hacks) is if my display is set to 800 x 600 and 75mhz, given that, I've logged hours of entertainment with my son on Spore."The Mac mini is not a laptop. No laptop, regardless of design, can support this game unless it is fairly new.
