Of course, a mid-range r400 or nv40-based card will wipe the floor with it, but in bang-per-buck the gma is fairly decent. And for ALU-heavy fragment shaders the 9200 does not have a chance against it. Yes, the gma takes a decent cpu and dual channel mem to run properly, but given those it's not a crawler. What titles, driver versions and hw paltform was that? I'm using the gma950 daily at work and the 9200 nightly at home and i definitely haven't got that impression.
I'd take it over the 9200 w/o much hesitation, includingly in the new minis as they have cpu clocks to burn. I'm using the gma950 daily at work and the 9200 nightly at home and i definitely haven't got that impression. What titles, driver versions and hw paltform was that? Personally I'm looking forward to 'next generation' Intel Mac mini, Conroe/Meron based ones. However, I still think it'll be much more attractive if it has Radeon X1600 like iMac. Since Mac mini is not designed for playing games, I can understand why they choose GMA950. Furthermore, the lack of pixel shader 2.0 means no Core Image functions and no 'ripple effects.'

Since Mac OS X uses a lot of video acceleration for UI rendering, 32MB video memory is sometimes not enough. I think one problem of the Radeon 9200 in the PPC Mac mini is the lack of enough video memory (32MB in first version and 64MB in updated version). : Home of the CustoMac Buyer’s Guide, iBoot, MultiBeast, UniBeast, and the world’s most helpful #hackintosh #mac #osx support community.
