Portal on Mac Mini Server ok?

[patent10021]

Just curious as I'll be getting the MMS for audio work. Would like to connect it to my 40".

Thanks

Just started playing Portal (and now Portal 2) on my Mac Mini Server (the latest one with a Thunderbolt port). Plays well in my opinion; no lag or refresh issues that I can see.

The Core i7 will go a long way to make up for the graphical deficiencies. Start talking about more graphically-intensive games and you might have some problems. You also may have to drop the resolution to 1280x720 (720p) for the frame rates to be reasonable.

i've been playing it on 15" air via steam with no problems... well, apart from getting stuck on certain levels but can't blame the computer really

Playing under Windows will also help a lot. My MacBook can't play Portal under OS X, but it plays perfectly fine at 720p under Windows. And Windows, being 64-bit, can only access half the RAM in it that OS X can.

Fixed for ya. Forgetting the "Macbook" part. Kids these days...

A 15" air? You forgot the "non-existant" part

Portal and Portal 2 seem to reliably come in at about 64 to 72 fps on that Mac.
