Anybody tried running Oblivion or any other new game on a Mini with Boot Camp? I'm interested to know if it's even possible.

Well i am not a doctor....err i mean,
i don't have a mini....

Anyway...the mini only has Intel integrated graphics - shared memory solution
one that DOESN'T support DirectX 9 in hardware but only via software emulation.

The performance of anything with better graphics then Half-Life 1 based stuff will be bad at best, my guess would be unplayable for anything recent.

I tried Half Life Lost Coast yesterday on my mini. Pretty much unplayable. Didn't measure but would guess 10fps max. Contraproductive to gameplay is also that it crashes realiably at one point very early.
