Hey guys I just got my July 2011 Sandybridge Mac Mini, and I noticed it ran a little slow, so I ordered 2x4gb Corsair Ram upgrades, I was wondering how much of a difference in overall performance it will make to have 8gb of ram instead of 2gb, thanks guys!!!
Got a tip for us?

Depends on what you use your Mac for, how many apps you have running at the same time, etc., but I think you'll definitely notice a performance difference going from 2GB to anything more than that.
Ordered my Corsair RAM on Monday from Amazon, got on Wed, installed in 5 mins (4 mins for twisting the damn backing off) and it flies. I simply can't believe the difference. It's major, not just minor. I can now leave open either Spotify/Turntable.fm/MOG for music in one window, surf and leave 10 tabs open, check FB, and watch a baseball via MLB.tv.
The best $49 I've spent in a long time.
