Do the Intel Mini's have 1 slot or 2 for ram? I'm getting one from a friend that only has 512megs of ram in it.. Want to know if I have to buy a 1gig or just a 512 stick to upgrade it..

Type of RAM slots: 2 - 200pin PCS-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM

so two slots.

It comes with 256mb in both memory banks.

Best bet is to just drop the $ for two 1gb sticks of ram, for each slot.

That is what I plan on doing with my new Mac Mini.

And come a month or two...

A T7200 Merom cpu upgrade

Sobe, where did you get your avatar?

This charatar is really popular online and no one seems to realise who he is.

Yeah advertises TV lincenses and so on. He is really dumb and lives with a Rabbit that is always at the mercy of his stupidity. He seems to be really loved online.

Does the chipset do some kind of interleaving with 2 sticks? I'd like to just buy a 1gig for now, and maybe another in the future when my budget allows, would I kill some performance by running 1 stick?

They use dual channel RAM. Better stick with two identical chips.

Just upgraded to 2GB today!

Well worth the $240 ($220 after mail-in rebate) for the two 1GB sticks.

From the local CompUSA no less.
