Actually it *IS* the chipset. Read my 'mini' review. Even the Linux
driver has these options for users to tweak the ATI chipset driver
parameters. Just because the options aren't there doesn't mean the
product works.
If you search around you will no doubt find that folks including ATI
have chipset tweaking tools for the Mac. They just don't work on the
mini since some bright spark changed a bit on the firmware ID or the
tools only strictly support nnn IDs. Hopefully these will be updated
soon and you'll be able to prove me wrong.

Don't lets go there again. I already priced you out with a cheap system
+ Linux ala Lindows or Walmart. Consult the archives.
