Mac mini 8GB RAM

[dyn]

I cannot understand the cynical comments concerning RAM given by some. Am working w/ 8 GB in my new mac mini since about 10 days and are very happy w/ it. I work w/ quite large photos / raw-files, and there is a marked improvement in performance. My question is not, wether the new mini works w/ 8 GB , but wether it is possible to trick the older Model ( first one with Nvidia 9400M) to work w/ 8 GB as well. If anyone knows the answer, tell me. If not, I'll try it in about 2-3 weeks, will inform U about the results.

The difference between the early and late 2009 Mac minis is the different cpu's that are used. The late 2009 uses faster ones. Everything else is the same so the answer would be yes, both the early and late 2009 minis can use 8 GB of memory. If you read this thread and elsewhere you'll see that most people are using 8 GB in the early 2009 models. You only need to have the EFI update installed (which most people will have anyway).
