Its fine for windows based stuff but it wont play many new games. Not as good as a 6200 in 3D mark 05. The main problem with it is a lot of games wont run due to driver issues.
then again someone or a group could write drivers for it, like catalyst for ati cards , although i'm only speculating, and even so, if the graphics power is hardly comparable to a 6200 i don't expect many people to be doing heavy gaming on it 
Thats the only real place the new mini mac is let down in my opinion. I've got one of the later G4 Mini's (which had wireless and bluetooth built in) and the new intel is better in all areas apart from the graphics. The older Mini's had a Radeon 9200. The additional USB ports and the microphone line in make it a bit more useful all round than the old Mini.
The reason I ask is because im thinking of getting one to hook up to my 32 lcd and using it as a media centre thing... the front row thing looks really good... also cod 2 is coming out for macs this month and i think it would look great on my tv...
but the question is..is it worth it?
