Probably it's running hotter? It appears your Mini has two RAM slots,
so if you had a single 1GB stick, and added a 2nd, it'd only make
sense that it runs a little hotter. It could be you inadvertently
moved sometime that affected the fan?
I have a G4 Mini that's overclocked to 1.58GHz, but I boot from
external HDs so it's never runs hot and the fan is never loud. I've
noticed that if I boot from the internal HD the fan immediately runs
louder, so the G4 Mini fan is very heat sensitive. I wish my Time
Capsule fan was as sensitive, it seems to get to "melt down" temps and
I hear nothing, barely any air moving, and what I feel is HOT.
