If I recall correctly, you are working with the PPC/G4 flavor of the Mac Mini, correct?
Whether or not you buy from OWC their site usually does have reasonably good videos of the steps you'd have to go through to upgrade things like memory or hard drive. I suggest you take a look at the process before you buy anything so you can see if you would feel comfortable doing it. http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/mac_mini_g4_mem_hd_opt_h/ The hardest step appears to be opening the case since Apple never intended for a customer to do this with any of the systems in their Mac Mini line If you do not routinely fiddle with computers you may not have all the tools (thin enough putty knife and small enough screw drivers ... watch the video) to do it. Once you figure out what you need, a local Home Depot (or equivalent) is one possible place you can pick that stuff up. Below is a link to the OWC Mac Mini upgrade page. It looks like the PPC mini uses DDR RAM and they sell it for ~$39 (shipped USPS). You might get it cheaper elsewhere but probably not all that much cheaper. If you prefer paying a bit more just to simplify your life then OWC is probably the best way to go for you ... especially in this case. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini FWIW, -irrational john --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
