2009 Apple mac mini (2.26 core 2 duo)

It has 1GB ram and I need 4

What kind of ram do I need and where is best to buy it? I assume a 4GB kit (2 x 2)

also what is the fastest / biggest hard drive I can put in? I think as its a mac mini, it needs a thinner HD, laptop style


thanks!

 

Ref the RAM: yup, 2 slots. Link: http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?t=81881

Also: http://macminiramupgrade.com/ ($69.99 for 4GB so he says)

Can't help with the mac stuff i;m afraid Dave!

 

im a pc and not buying a mac was my idea

 

£400 and it only comes with 1gig of ram?!? and then a 4gig upgrade is £90!
blimey macs are expensive.

 

the best equipment usually is.

 

Can get genuine apple for 150 through distribution.... If it were mind I'd just get http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=41683

Just spat my beer out

 

hahahahahahahahaha that's funny

 

Spoken like a true consumer whore.

 

Get those updates while you can. The new mac book air (and following apple products) are not upgradable as all components will be soldered to the mother boards. Even apple wont upgrade them for you, they will just suggest purchasing the latest model when they release it a few years later.

 

Ouch!!!I've got the i phone which I love but I've always been put off their other stuff due to costs etc.

Always heard their good though?

 

There is no doubt that thier rigs etc are good for what they are. Simple, user friendly, basic systems. Just for the money they charge you dont get alot.
I was genuinely shocked to see someone reviewing the macbook air and opening it up to find everything soldered in, thats just taking computer tech and going backwards.

It does boil down to cost with mac.
For their mid range "mac pro" the same money would get you an "Alienware Area-51 ALX" which would out perform it all day long, and comes with a monitor, printer etc etc..

 

I used Crucial to upgrade my macbook memory http://www.crucial.com/uk/

I think this is what you want - http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/list...%20Late%202009

All of the div's slating apple for being expensive, overpriced etc.. are COMPLETELY missing the point of their products...

oh.. and you're fucking pikeys too

 

what is the "point" of an apple product then?

this should be good....

 

Kingston ram is one of the best ram to fit in it

Will make a huge difference

 

Yup - bar the iPhone I think I have just about everything they make....piss on anything else anyone makes.

 

Fuck it, im going to stixk 8GB in my iMac and put the 4GB from the iMac in the mini

a legendary Mike Rainbird blowjob voucher up for grabs to the person that can find the best deal!?
