Does this Mac Mini have 4Gb of RAM? or 2Gb, like the normal mid 2011 Mac Mini model? And for this price I would get the powerhouse by itself?

bought mine 3 years ago. When I made my purchase on Amazon, down below were additional options to purchase two additional chips of memory Corsair 8 GB (2 X 4 GB). The explanation was an advisement as to what some people purchased in addition to the Mac Mini. I took this advisement and spent an additional $44.99. I followed the instructions and it was fairly easy to replace these new chips with the existing ones and it has worked fine and my daughter uses it in conjunction with her I-phone and is quite satisfied.

This macmini comes with 2GB RAM, but I brought 2 memory ram of 4GB each...the price is well for performance for given equipment.

My Mac runs just fine I admit I didn't pay that much attention to it other then proper installation. I'm running four 4gb cards and there hasn't been an issue. I do advise the if you are only upgrading meaning adding ram not replacing. Leave the original ram in its original location and just add the new ram to the open slots. Hope that help you in your decision.

As stated above, it initially has a 4GB and 2GB module installed. However it maxes out at 16GB RAM (8 x 2). You can use 1600MHz DDR3 RAM. I recommend the Crucial 16GB RAM kit from Amazon: Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3L-1600 SODIMM Memory for Mac (CT2K8G3S160BM )

Did you try watching movies from your mac? Are you happy with the viewing experience? Any kind of jittering... etc? I am just worried about the video card on the mini, it is the intel on board 9400 I guess. iMac comes with 256M/512M NVIDEA/ATI cards. What other features do you rate the most?

Mac mini RAM and HD can be upgraded. There is an access panel on the bottom for these upgrades. Even the latest model.

The Memory controller of the Mac Mini does not support 1866 ram, if you install this ram you will be stuck at speeds of 1600 mhz. You are better off opting for the cheaper 16 gb 1600 mhz kits.

Ah, I see what you're saying, the Technical Description says Two Dual Core. But the title says Two Quad Core, and the RAM, gfx card, and HD all correspond to the current Mac Pro. Very confusing - I'm sending more e-mails to customer service.

goto a Mac forum and sell either one or both of those memory sticks = many people will buy them. You Mac will take 2GB ram chips = 4GB total, but can only use 3GB of that.http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304284take one stick out and add a 2GB Ram chip = 2.5GB. Crucial is usually the best for Ram -check with NewEgg.com for Ram feedback. There are new models of the iMac coming out soon also (a few weeks). =May have better Ram options.

Standard RAM on this model is 16GB, if you want 32 you either have to get a "build to order" unit from the Apple store or add third party RAM (very easy to upgrade) yourself. Apple upgrade is $400 and $300-350 or so from aftermarket sellers.

So does have 4 gigs of ram or 2? Which is it? And if it does have 4, what's up with the 32 bit OS?

8 and right after I plugged it in 8.1 became available but i couldn't figure out how to upgrade! Think it was suppost to be free but I wasn't able to do so.It's been in the box for the last 3 months, haven't had time to plug it back in.I got it for the XP thing ending.Liked it though, but my Mac mini fits better on the shelf !

Yes it should. Mac mini's use the same memory as laptops because of their size and the PC2-5300 is the proper speed rating for your Mac Mini. You can go to www.crucial.com to look it up.Hanh.

No the mini uses laptop memory. As far as Mac go this specific memory is only for the MacPro and maybe an Xserve... Not sure about the Xserve though

Actually, up until a couple of days ago on Apples iMac 20" Customize your Mac page, it said in the learn more link under RAM to 'choose the 1x1GB stick if you plan on upgrading later' or something like that. I emailed them... in a hopeless attempt to get them to actually add the option but all they did was removed that part in the learn more section :(

If you spend the extra $300 on the more expensive MacBook Pro you get the following: - a faster processor (2.53GHz vs. 2.26GHz) - more memory (4GB vs. 2GB) - bigger hard disk (250GB vs. 160GB) These are all desirable things, however you can do the memory and hard disk upgrades yourself (probably for less than $300). It involves removing the bottom panel (something like a dozen screws) and replacing the hardware. I have not done it myself yet, but it does not look too difficult. I plan to wait for SSD and 8GB RAM prices to drop. The processor is about 11.2% faster, and I doubt that can be upgraded later. However, for me 11.2% is not a significant difference. The faster processor also generates more heat and uses more battery power, so it's a trade off. You could also increase performance with a faster hard drive, but that too would eat into the battery life (which is why I am waiting for the solid state drive prices to drop). Snow Leopard promises to run more efficiently than Leopard, so be sure to sign up for the Snow Leopard up-to-date program so you'll get the latest software when it comes out in September (it's a $10 fee). AppleCare is like an extended warranty. I believe you have up to a year after your initial purchase to sign up for it. It gives you an extra 2 years of service coverage and continues your telephone support after the initial 90 days. I am more of a do-it-yourself guy, so I didn't consider it, but it would be nice knowing you are covered. I bought it for my Mac Mini, but I never used it.

No, I bought it and a ssd. I took the Mac mini apart and put a 120 ssd with the 1 ter hdd that came with the mac. Mac created turbo boost so they work together like one large ssd. It's fast and worth it.

That's one of my favorite MacBook Pro models! Nickname is "Glossy". Yes, that is the correct RAM type and speed, but the A1150 only supports 2GB of RAM. If you install 4GB, it will not recognize the additional memory. This is the second generation of Intel Macs, and the memory addressing is limited by the processor and the logic board. It's also a 32-bit processor, so you're going to be limited in your upgrading options (both software and hardware) going forward. If you are looking to speed this computer up, you might consider upgrading the Hard Drive to a solid state drive. It isn't as fast as RAM, but it will minimize the "spinning colored wheel" you're probably getting when launching apps or browsing the internet. You can get a small SSD for &lt;$100. Installation is tricky if you've never done it before, so you might be springing for labor. Hope that helps.
