SenVa Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I am planing on buying a mac mini rather soon... and I found this artical of someone upgrading their mini mac with a Merom core (i didn't know they where out... he must be magical or something.)... I guess my question is would it be safe to upgrade a cheap single core mini mac to a duel core Merom when they come out? Or should I spend a few extra bucks for a duel core cpu that I wont use? Secondly, I am planing on buying ram to put in my mini... is the ram apple sells way better? or just extreamly overpriced? Should I just buy some cheap ram from newegg? Sorry if I'm repeating some questions... I'm a horrible searcher... when it comes to fourms.

Swad Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 As long as the CPU is socketed, you should be ok with an upgrade. I'm not totally familiar with the mini, so I don't know any specifics. The motherboard will slow things down a bit, since it won't have as big a pipe as the newer merom-ready ones. As for RAM, go elsewhere. There should be a few threads in this forum that will help you look!
