[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1548221, member: 56379"] OWC sells both...so you might want to check exactly what you ordered (part number). But in any case...your Mac-Mini can have up to 16gig of ram. Since there is very little price difference between the single 8gig module and 2 x 4gig modules...you may have done yourself a big favor (on purpose or by accident)...since: - if you wanted to upgrade to 16gig...you just need another 8gig module (if you had gotten 2 x 4gig modules...they would have had to be removed). - as chscag mentioned...you can leave one of those 2gig modules in the Mac-Mini for a total of 10gig of ram.:) I think that the whole thing really turned out better than you would have expected!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
