Default Need to upgrade memory on my mini 9 - 08-31-2009, 04:32 AM

SO my mini came with 4GB which is not enough for my line of work. I found a website that sells refurbished computer parts. What exactly should I be looking for to make the memory on my computer a LOT bigger? These are a couple of the things that they have:
I honestly have no idea what any of it means. I really really need some help. Thank you very much!

Your Mini did not come with 4GB of memory (RAM) - the most it can take is 2GB, and the most Dell is allowed to put in from the factory is 1GB.

What you probably have is a 4GB Solid State Drive (SSD), which is an electronic version of the traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD).

I suggest if you are looking for guaranteed compatibility and good prices for upgrades to either or both, you need look no further than MyDigitalDiscount in the sponsor forums on this site.

Thinking of trying Dropbox? Use this referal link and we'll both get an extra 250MB of storage.

Glad to help. I know how confusing all these terms and acronyms must seem, which is why it's so nice to have a "one-stop shop" like MDD.
