I have Mac OS X 10.6.6 installed on my Vostro A90, with 2GB's of RAM. Do the slots in the Mini 9 even support more than 2GB's of RAM? I know OS X supports more than 2GB's but if I spent the money would the performance increase at all?

I already have a 32GB Runcore SSD, besides RAM are there any other performance enhancers I could install?

Thanks

The official max for the Mini 9 is a single 2GB module, and I'm not aware of anyone who has successfully managed to jam more in.

2GB is the max supported by the chipset and CPU.

When you say 2GB is the max supported, is that within that upgrade slot lifting the total RAM to 3GB or can I only add another 1GB into that RAM slot.

I've seen a few posts regarding an upgrade to 2GB so I would assume it is possible but I would like to clarify what you meant

Right, I guess this clarifies it:

2GB Ram Upgrade Guide because I didn't realise that you had to remove the 1GB RAM from the slot before you put the 2GB one in

you remove the 1gb in there and replace it with a 2gb stick, there is only 1 (ONE) slot in the Mini 9 and like Steve has already told you, the max for the chipset is 2gb, be glad that you even have a slot, in my case I had to replace the entire daughterboard because on the 1010's (Mini 10) the processor and memory are SOLDERED on and you must replace the entire board to upgrade which is A LOT harder and MUCH more expensive than in your case.....

Thanks for the clarification. I'd think it would still be much faster than my current laptop which is 700Mhz with 384mb RAM, 12GB HDD and with that vital bit of gear: RS232/Com port
