Fozzieb Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hi there, Firtst of all, this is my first post from my Mac Mini. I have to say 12 hours on and i'm loving it. The only thing is I could do with more memory (i bought it with 256Mb), Now I know it takes PC2700 DDR333 but can it use any memory of this type (ie the ones i have in my pc) and is the just one slot for the memory? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SojIrOu Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 the memory it uses is the same as a standard desktop (dimm DDR module) not a laptop (so-dimm ddr). you can use DDR 400 for it and it'll still work. there's only one slot so you have to take out the 256 to replace it with a 512 or 1gb module.

Fozzieb Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 brilliant, I have a spare 512Mb DDR400 I can use in my PC setup. Are there any guides on replacing the memory? Chhers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SojIrOu Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 watch this mac mini disassembly video. you'll need a putty knife with a sanded down edge. i know it'll hurt a little but no matter what you'll damage the plastic inside the mini. disassembly guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzieb Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 cool, I think i'll give it a go this weekend. It looks like the only damage will be inside the case rather than on the outside, I can live with that. Thanks for the links m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTallack Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 My Mac Mini came with a 256MB DDR400 and I replaced it with a 512MB DDR400 without any problems at all. The hardest part was getting the unit open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzieb Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 Just checked my pc, it has 4 strips of 256Mb not 2 of 512Mb :no: looks like i'll need to go shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieb39 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 That's a shame. Yah, I took forever opening my mac mini because wasn't sure how to open it even after all the videos.. oh, then closing it.. that was another thing.. seesh. Good luck, -lieb39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
