New Mac Mini to run jitter at 1024x768 ok?

Sensory Fiend's icon

Im thinking of getting one of the new Mac Mini's 1.6 Core Duo's to Run Jitter on Windows XP. All I will have is a still image at 1024x768 but the image will be 'shaking' by spitting nubers into the x and y co ordinates. Has anyone had any luck with the new minis? DO you think it will run ok as I have heard it has an integrated graphic chip.

On the other hand im looking at getting a centrino 1.3 notebook with a 64mb radeon mobility 9000...

Any comments much apreciated as I have just sold my old IBM Thinkpad with 8mb graphics as it was crapping out..

Cheers.

put the image onto a texture and manipulate a videoplane (or other geometery) and you will have much funs. I have been working on a mini and have been impressed with its capabilities, in spite of its meek video card. I can't seem to get fsaa to work with jit.text.3d, but that's not a show stopper. It is quiet, and I like that better than smooth text.
I have run out of texture memory with REALLY LARGE stills (> 2400 x 1800 caused a problem - i did not bother to find the exact dimensions that killed it), but 1024x768 - not a problem. I have run 6 320x240 on the mini, and it was happy.
The sad thing about this tidy li'l box is that there is no 2nd video out - you'll have to get a matrox dual head 2 go device to do that.
XP - take your chances. Some video cards on XP machines can be fine, on others, not so good. I can say that my evga nVidia 6800GS card has been trouble free for jitter (but caused me hassles in the "general use" category that I have never had to deal with on a Mac).
