[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 71463, member: 5184"] [I]Get Your Game On Go ahead, just try to play Halo on a budget PC. Most say they’re good for 2D games only. That’s because an “integrated Intel graphics” chip steals power from the CPU and siphons off memory from system-level RAM. You’d have to buy an extra card to get the graphics performance of Mac mini, and some cheaper PCs don’t even have an open slot to let you add one.[/I] Cheap PCs with integrated Intel graphics and shared memory won't play Halo in a decent way...no matter which resolution. And nowhere in the text is it written that the Mac mini will do so... The text simply states that an "integrated Intel graphics" without it's own VRAM is less performant than the Mac mini's graphic chip with VRAM, which is definitely true. Apple's messages sometimes are very subtle... :robot: [/QUOTE]
