So is this as simple as loading a single 2 gb DIMM in place of one of the present 1 gb sticks and leaving the other 1 gb in place? You're good to go at this point or?

no risk no fun [;)] i'd check your favorite search engine for special requirements for such DIMMs (thickness, ect), but basically it is as simple ...

btw: I checked out several of the *disassemble my minimac* videos if i can see some header for the second sATA port to add an external connector ... _this_ would be an advantage ... unfortunately the guys here don't hand me out their's ... [:P]

'no risk no fun'...my life's creed. How's that read in German btw?

Is there a second sATA port in there to be taken advantage of? The mini is getting more interesting every day.

there must be a second port - question is if there would be a second header, at least some pins on the motherboard ... remember the external VGA on the old iMacs? has been hard to find ...

I see cm - somewhere in there is the port but how to connect is the issue. That is as deep as my understanding goes but maybe someone will figure it out and rig something up.

4GB in the MPB and no problems after 24 hours..

My mini is a 1.83 Core Duo. Does this only work on Core 2 Duo's?

It looks like that's the case, yes. But I'd give OWC a call and ask just to make sure.

In any case Nick it looks like a Mac Mini is a far more attractive proposition till the 64 bit world opens up because it's a lot less real estate then a PC and will load the same amount of instruments.

So you have 4 gigs loaded and no heating problems? Do you have a temp monitor that shows all is well?

My lap is the temp monitor.

But this isn't a Mac Mini, it's a MacBook Pro that's intended to hold 4GB.

Oh that's right, I forgot about that in the more recent models. A laptop of a different color than.

Yup, silver rather than white.
