[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1275464"] The latest ComputerFreak's Mac mini can run is 10.6.8. It cannot use Lion. There is nothing wrong with this, however. Snow Leopard will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future, programs will still be compatible with it and so forth. A computer that's "stuck" at 10.6.8 is not really a problem and won't be for another couple of years at least. You HAVE to upgrade that RAM, however. I mean, seriously, like yesterday. It's a cheap upgrade, just max it out (I think that would be 2GB on that machine). Getting to the RAM on it will be kinda tricky, have a tech do it. After you upgrade the RAM, buy the $29 Snow Leopard retail DVD and upgrade. Following that, I'd strongly recommend upgrading at least iPhoto to the current version ($15 at the Mac App Store). You'll also want to/have to upgrade Safari and iTunes, but those will be free updates. [/QUOTE]
