Hi,
I'm currently in the process of upgrading my girlfriend's dad's Mac Mini. I want to put in 2 GB of memory by installing a couple of 1 GB sticks. The machine is a Mac Mini Intel CD 1.66, so I'm looking for PC2-5300 DDR2-667 MHz 200 pin SODIMMs.
Here in Denmark I can get a pair of 1 GB Kingston ValueRAM for a very decent price. Now the problem is that I seem to remember that Kingston ValueRAM is "high density" RAM (whatever that means) and that some Macs don't work with high density RAM. Is this something that I have to worry about?
Edit: I just found out that I can get Crucial RAM from http://www.crucial.com/eu/. It's slightly more expensive, but not much. 2x1GB is ~€50. Should I just go for the Crucial RAM?
Edit 2: Okay, so I also started wondering whether RAM is actually user-installable without voiding the warranty? The machine is a little over a year old, so there's still an extended warranty (not sure if that's the word -- I'm danish ;-).
