I am helping my friends upgrade their imac 17" Core Duo to 2gb and then wondering whether i can use their old 512 ram block for my Mac Mini Core Solo (and buy one 512 block more for at total of 1gb)
Also is it advisable to buy expensive brandname ram, or can i just go for using mermoryx or memorytogo noname ram?
Currently my mini is very slow, and often programs stop responding, so i assume lack of ram is at fault with the shared graphic memory (i wonder whether my 21" 1600x1050 monitor will cause more strain on the system?)
Windows runs much faster and stable on the same machine, so right now i find myself using xp more than osx!! And yes, i do use it for movies and photoediting plus downloading (legal) documentaries, i had to quit all widgets to have the osx work at all, wish the mac shop had told me to get 1gb at once!
Any help with be appreciated!
