Processor : 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory : 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics : Intel HD Graphics 3000 288 MB
Software : Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50d)
Thanks guys

You are short on Ram, and the GPU won't help you either...Does that model have the AMD GPU as well? Go to the little Apple symbol at the top right of your screen and click "About This Mac" Click on system report, then Graphics.

I assume you have the 2011 mac mini?

If so it achieved 27.3fps on Call of Duty 4, not sure of the settings but that suggests that it should be able to run those two games, maybe not maxed out though if you want a high fps

That Integrated video card is going to choke both of those games hard.

Id say both will work, although at 800x600.

Given the age of these games, and requirements of a P4 and geforce 4 / geforce 8xxx I would be surprised if they didn't run really well in bootcamp.

The single piece you have to care about is the GPU.
The HD 3000 is not a great GPU for gaming. It can bear casual games and some "serious" games at low settings, but most AAA games will struggle on low too.
