Has anyone been able to play this on the mini? I have 512mb of ram and it runs choppy then freezes. After reading your posts on playing WoW I figure this cannot take as much cpu and ram as that. I have even lessened the visual settings. Any help would be appreciated.

What have you lowered your video settings to? I wouldn't go over 800x600.

I play it on my 1.42 mini with 1gb ram without trouble. Sometimes it gets a little choppy, even when playing on my imac G5.

I have lowered them to 800x600 and I took some of the effects out, cloud cover waves etc. Is the need for me to add more ram the main issue here? Does my mini need to be bumped up again to 1g of it just to play this game?
