Mac Mini w/9400 info?

Anybody know how well SL works, using the new Mac Mini with the 9400 chip? Wondering if it's a cheap way to achieve darned good SL performance on a Mac.

it runs ok.... theres another thread here where someone already asked the same question andsome one else already answered that uses one... as for the Geforce 9400M.. it runs Sl pretty good... not super top of the line of course, but it runs just fine

Just got a Mac Mini 2.0mhz 4G ram, 120G HD at 5400rpm. The Nvidia 9400M is a big jump in integrated graphics. SL assigned the machine to "medium" graphic settings, and I get between 15 and 22 fps in that setting. In low, I go as high as 35 fps, in "high" I go down between 12 and 15, and in Ultra it's between 7 and 10 most times. But very playable, things look good, controls are snappy, TP's happen fast . These settings were taken on a Saturday morning, and still there was not much lag.

Can anybody confirm whether this is a shared opinion? I am considering getting a mini as a semi-portable SL client for some research I am doing. If more people are happy about it I think I made my choice!

I bought a mac mini about 6 months ago and occasionally use it for running SL (about 2x per week). I just have 2Gb memory on it.

I use the mini as a media server, so it only has iTunes, FireFox, and a special application that decodes cable signals (and lots of media files sitting around on it) - so I suppose it runs well since there aren't any other background processes running.

I notice that it gets warm, like my MacBook Pro, so I also installed smcFanControl2 on it (http://conscius.de/~eidac/software/smcfancontrol2/index.html).

To get adequate performance I increase the video memory from 128 to 256 and then it is fine. It feels a little slower (just a little) than my MBP, but the juge display I have it hooked into helps me forget about that

I have not tested streaming media over the wireless with SL running, but it would not surprise me if one or both become jittery.
