2011 Mini VS my desktop - which is better?

[jhatz]

Hey I wanted to get some advice from the pros. Can anyone give me an idea on if the mac mini will be better for gaming? I plan on using VMware and but bootcamp for full gaming.

My current PC:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 w/ VT (2.93GHz, 3M, L2Cache, 1066FSB)
RAM: 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz - 2DIMMs
Video Card: GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI

VS

New Mac Mini 2011 - Ultimate (higher end one, $799)

I wish I was more computer savvy enough but across platforms (Windows/OS X) I'm not sure.

Thanks
