Does anyone play this online? I am going to attempt to play on a mac mini server mid-2010 version and I am concerned about the graphics card being able to handle it. We also have a newer 2012 computer, but both my kids may want to play, so I am just curious to see if anyone has tried this. It'll be a 2.66Ghz and 8Gig RAM, but is the older Nvidia 320 rather than the recommended min. 330.
Got a tip for us?

No first-hand experience with ESO on a mini, but I had a 2010 mini (now sold) that I attempted to play some games on and the general experience was mediocre to frustrating; the 320M is a weak GPU, there's no way to sugar-coat that.
There are some things you can do to improve performance:
- Forget about full-screen mode, play in a window at a low resolution (ex. 1024x768)
- Down all the bells & whistles off/down, anti-aliasing, dynamic shadows, anything that requires horsepower
- Minimal graphic quality is your new best friend.
Caveat: yes the game will look like crap and it's even possible it won't be all that playable even after removing all the cool stuff.
