[QUOTE="Fanner50, post: 1548215, member: 312732"] Hey guys, I have a mid 2010 Mac Mini with the 4 gig factory upgrade (2x2). Following everyone's advice here I bought a OWC 8 gig ram upgrade. I was was expecting two 4x4' sticks, but they sent one 8 gig stick instead. Question #1 does the 8 gig stick go on the bottom or on the top when installed? Question #2 can I use the 8 gig stick and one of my 2 gig sticks for a total of 10 gigs? If so, does the 8 gig stick go on the bottom or the top? I switched to a Mac in 2010 and haven't looked back. I am a real Apple fan boy :-), but I don't know a lot about hardware and software and how it all works together. Thanks for the advice everyone. I really need it. :-) [/QUOTE]
