Hi all,
I have the latest MacMini with i5@2.3 and Intel HD 3000. I've also upgraded with 8GB of RAM and replaced the HDD with an SSD.
Running Windows 7 x64 via BootCamp.
My question is: do you think that this setup will be able to run Diablo III?
Thanks.🙂
Mac mini, Windows 7
Hi, it looks like NOT, due to the lack of a real Graphic card...

Ok, I went ahead and installed the game anyway. With all settings on low, 1300x760 runs just fine on my 24" monitor. It heats up quite a lot and the fan spins all the time, but I get no less than 25 fps in the busiest scenes.
a.k.a it's playable 🙂
Yah whoever posted the first thing was just going off of the box! if you check out the link here to the actual battle.net website you can see that intel 3000 graphics is a supported piece of software. Now i'm not saying you can play on ultra awesome graphics seettings or anything because you can't, but the game is definately playable and you can't tell a huge difference between low detail and ultra high detail as far as i'm concerned... Enjoy all you players out there wondering if Diablo 3 will work on your mac mini!!!
Will Diablo 3 run on the Mac Mini?
