[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1275435, member: 61193"] You need a minimum of 2GB of RAM to install Lion. I had to upgrade my own MacMini for that. Even worse, I am not sure your processor is up to running Lion. I think you need an Intel Core 2 Duo at least. I don't think that can be upgraded :( Try checking for which version of MacMini you have (Apple menu, About this Mac) then search on the Apple website to see if it is compatible. Alternatively, when I tried to install Lion on my MacMini, it advised me immediately that it did not have enough RAM - rather than installing and then not working. It did not even let me start downloading Lion in the AppStore, so give that a try. [/QUOTE]
