Mac Mini RAM Upgrade

On September 12, 2010, in Thoughts, by Silver Fox

Let’s talk about… Mac’s :)

I upgraded the RAM in my mac mini.  It is now running better than ever with 8GB DDR3 PC3-8500. The installation was pretty straight forward and the slot’s were easily accessible.  It took less than 2 minutes to remove the old RAM and install the new sticks.  I was very impressed by the ease of the upgrade :)

Performing the upgrade led to a couple of noticeable improvements in my mac’s performance.  Oddly it has fixed the import issue I was having with iPhoto and certain file types (JPGS were not importing, no idea why not).   I would also comment that the album cover carousel in iTunes no longer crashes after playing my music with full screen visualiser.

Overall very happy, just wish my Acer Aspire One’s RAM was as easy to access ;)

 

I got shot off my horse, so what I got up again

Title says it all really.

Those that are close to me know that I have  been suffering quite a lot in recent months with one thing or another.  I will not go into details but it left me feeling like I had nothing.  I think I now have a more positive outlook.

I am feeling pretty good about things in general really.  No more bad stuff has happened to me or anyone I know :)   My head is clear and I am focussed on my life again.  I am not looking back anymore,  it is time to look forward.

Anyway the point is,  expect to see more posts,me about on IRC and the forums.  Anyone save me a cookie? :)
