I have the mid 2010 mac mini (2.4ghz one with 2gb ram) and I was wondering if i put a 8gb stick in will I notice the difference? I use Photoshop and lightroom mainly.. so was wondering if they would get a boost?

also could i use the 2gb in there and put in a 4gb crucial ram giving me 6gb? or cant you mix the ram?

also is it possible to change hard drive in this mac mini?

yeh i am going to just get the 8gb, I viewed the monitor built into the mac and said I'm maxing out my ram 99% of the time lol.. thanks for your post guys... how long roughly did it take you to get the ram from crucial?
 
I noticed I posted this in wrong place lool my bad!

Thanks Sagalout that's eased my mind a bit, my 8gb is on its way! I do web design and photo editing so I just use Photoshop / Lightroom hoping the 8gb will give me a nice boost..(been told it will) but what has amazed me is I put my i7 gaming system in the corner of my room and haven't missed it at all! or windows 7
 
Came so quick! was here when i woke up.. so basically took a day.. I gotta say BUY 8GB lol I can now work on this without it lagging on me!!! next up is an ssd me thinks!
 
Once you put an SSD in there the machine will fly!

Arrh i know I cant wait!!! do you know if this will work? I have a usb 2TB drive pluged in, I have formatted it into 3 666gb partitions (installs, downloads and Backup) I have time machine backing up but can i install software on the installs one? and it will show in applications? If so ssd here I come!! xD
