[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1524916, member: 56379"] First of all your 2010 Mac-Mini can be upgraded to 16gig of ram. So if you think that would help...you could go this route. Second. I certainly would not upgrade to a 512gig SSD. Why you say? SSD's are expensive...and the larger capacity models even more (price/gig). A 512gig SSD will probably cost you $400+. If it were me...and I was willing to spend $400+ on an SSD (and I was considering upgrading to a newer Mac-Mini)...I would rather spend that $400+ on a new Mac-Mini. The new Mac-Mini with the i7 cpu costs $799. So that $400+ spent on a 512gig SSD would be a large chunk of a new Mac-Mini. But like I mentioned earlier. Your 2010 can actually be upgraded to 16gig of ram...and if that will help things...that will only cost you around $175. HTH,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
