[QUOTE="Flashback, post: 108219"] Just sold my iMac G5 (fans driving me mad) and bought a new G4 Mac Mini. I took out the 512MB or RAM that I bought from Crucial for my iMac G5, can I put this G5 iMac RAM into my new Mac Mini to replace the single 256 MB ram that the mini came with? I have posted around the web and am getting lots of different opinions, some say yes, some say definitely NO. Some even say it will down grade the ram speed, or something like that... Also, I have just installed (upgrade option) Tiger to upgrade from Panther. Somebody at Cancom (UK Apple retailer) told me that Tiger needs 256MB of RAM just to run itself and any other application I open after this will run really slow, is this true? if so will 512MB be better on Mac mini running Tiger? Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
