Not sluggish any more

"With only 1 Gig of RAM in my Mac Mini, I encountered a lot of spinning beachball cursors and generally sluggish performance. Maxing out the RAM to 2 Gigs solved all those issues and made my Mac a snappy performer, even with several apps running at once. It even shuts down and starts up much more quickly...."

"Installing extra memory in the mini is a chore. There are a variety of sites (not apples) that will help you undertake the project.I raided a kitchen drawer for a couple of the wife's spatulas. That and a very small screwdriver did the trick. I have a set of jewelers screwdrivers and one of them was …"  Read Full Review »

"I bought my first Mac a few months back to use as a media computer and for remote access to PCs at work. Though performance of VMware Fusion running WinXP in OS X was okay I thought that 2GB would be much better. The RAM from Crucial worked perfectly as soon as I installed. "
