Mac mini (Intel Core 2 Duo - 1.83GHz) RAM

Mac mini (Intel Core 2 Duo - 1.83GHz) RAM
I was looking to upgrade to 4gb, I know it will only support 3gb but that's fine. The problem with trying to find the EXACT ram i need is that the Crucial scanner only recommends upgrading to 2GB.

How efficient will this RAM help me on Final Cut, and Logic Studio Pro? I'm looking to eventually upgrade to a mac pro but in the meantime i want to run these applications without them freezing up. I'm thinking it will be much better 1GB->3GB?

Is it Core 2 Duo or just Core Duo? C2D supports 4GB but CD supports only 2GB

Core 2 Duo, it handles 4gb but only uses 3gb correct? Recommend where to buy?

Yeah, only 3GB is utilized I recommend OWC,buy 1GB and 2GB module

i have 2.33ghz mbp and a 2.16 imac both with 3gb of ram. final cut studio (fcp 7) works fine. i used to run fcp on a g4 titanium powerbook with 1gb of ram. so you can probably get by with 2gb (maybe not hd video though). the integrated intel graphics in your mini will eat some of your ram (64-80mb), but you should still be ok.

3gb ram will be utilized, even if you put in 4gb. i think apple's spec says 2gb max for that model, but they're wrong. just like they're wrong with saying the current macbook max is 4gb, when it's really 8gb.

It didn't, I'm sorry.

If you're going to pay over $100 on RAM for a Mac Mini then...



you're beyond help.....

I guess it might be to you, these posts made by you though were unnecessary.

I also might get a iMac later on so i could just take memory from the mini and put it in the iMac

It has lower latency, the cheaper one has CAS 5 while it has CAS 4, don't know does it matter in real life though but it's only 7$ more
