[QUOTE="DJ-phYre, post: 71069"] I have been a PC user all my life. I have used Windows 3.1 up to Windows XP. I also have experience with FreeBSD and Linux... It seems with the release of the Mini I can now experience the Mac OS and Mac System without throwing out a forturne. There has been a lot of speculation on the point that the Mini is the 'bare' minimum. Basically I am going with the base $499 model and upgrading the RAM to 512MB. I have seen rumors on PC forums that this Mac Mini is not 'self serviceable' and that if I ever wanted to get new RAM I would have to send into Apple. Is this true? Can I just get 256MB of RAM and buy my own RAM to throw in this machine? Basically I just need to know before I put any money into it. Any information would be helpful. DJ-phYre [/QUOTE]
