my old mac mini G4 1.42 with 1gb ram, 10.4.9 ran WOW, Wolfenstein and Doom3 fine..... so id guess the newer ones run the stuff just as good if not better.

What resolution were you running Doom3 at and what kind of frame rate where you getting?

Is the new 9400M chip faster than the old iMac's ATI Radeon HD 2600 with 256MB? Because that wasn't fast enough for me.

Since this is a Mac Mini discussion...why would you ask about ATI Radeon 2600 when Mac Mini's never had this graphics hardware...unless you're thinking of buying an iMac?

And to put it bluntly - if you want a gaming machine, don't get a mini, build your own XP or Vista rig.

If you want OS X in a small form factor and the ability to play a few games, then it'll be OK.
