2012 Mac Mini Memory

[Jeric55]

Has anyone tried to put (2 x 16) DDR3 1600mhz in a late 2012 mini mac? I'm not sure if the pinout on the chips is the same. I have one that runs music software (recording) on 16 megs and it lags sometimes. Just wondering. Thanks.

Those machines max out at 16GB RAM due to a firmware restriction. Apple has expressed no interest in removing it even after being petitioned by its user base (aka shareholders).

Any tasks that needs 32GB memory, would also benefit from a general system upgrade.
Better save that money towards a new Mini after 10 years.

Thank you, I've done a general "upgrade, with an SSD," just curious about the RAM because there was no such thing as DDR 3 1600 2 x 16 when my mac mini was released.
