If you have more than one Mini that needs a 2G upgrade, this looks to be a good deal on 2 x 2GB sticks - http://www.buy.com/prod/kingston-4gb-ki ... 84926.html

This is a link to the Ram I bought and use in my Mini 9

Ironically if you buy it online and choose in store pickup its $19.99 plus tax. If you just go and buy it directly from the store without ordering it online, then its like $34.99......go figure!

Newegg had a deal (with rebate) on Patriot PSD22G6672S for $19 and the mini seems to like it.

has anyone put the 4 gig memory in ?

if so does it work OK, and what does the computer recognise ?
a few pages back it said it would only see 3.5 gig , which is OK with me....

thanks for the info

At least for Windows, 32-bit Windows will recognize only 3GB of RAM. Can you even get a single 4GB stick? This seems supreme overkill to me for a Mini.

I have yet to come close to maxing out 1GB on the mini..... much less 4GB

I do not have a Mini yet ,
I was going to buy one from dell outlet with 512k and upgrade it anyway,

so since I was going to buy a 2 gig stick anyway , I was wondering if the 4 gig one will work,
if it only ends up a 3 gig or so showing thats OK...

I normally have many programs open and tons of windows (20-30) from IE ect on my home machine ,
I would like to do close to the same on the Mini 9

PS....I just looked around and could not find a single stick 4 gig memory , are they even made ?
the 2 gigs are less than $20 each

If you read all the way through this thread there are a couple mentioned of 4GB sticks. They exist and range from $150-$400. They are also unknown as to if they work or not since no one has dropped the money on a single 4GB stick.
