    Gaming on Mini PC

    Can anyone recommend a Auto mini pc that has a good enough onboard chip to play some of the newer games?

    Seems like most of the onboard stuff is lacking in video processor power.

    Looking for a very small unit?

    What type of 'Newer games'? Typically any onboard video will never be powerful enough to play games like WoW, FEAR, Prey, Oblivion, etc.

    Well, not sure I need the newest games, but something that can handle games that are a couple of years old.

    Would it be easier if I asked, what mini pc currently has the best graphics onboard?

    I think I'm going to buy one and see how it does. Any suggestions from current owners?

    Better yet, what kind of games do you intend to play? If you're looking for 3D games, be prepared to lose eye candy and enjoy gaming at lower resolutions with these onboard graphics. You should have better luck with nVidia or ATI onboard graphics than an Intel or S3. Keep in mind these onboard graphics will eat up system RAM to be used as video memory, so make sure you'll be loaded with RAM.

    I guess I have to ask, why would you want to game in your car on a small screen in the first place?
