I have dusted off the cobwebs on my Mac Mini and am wanting to use it for video / photo editing.
At moment it has 512 Mb PC3200 RAM
80Gb HDD
1.42 GHz CPU
MAC OS X 10.3.9
To use it for video editing / itunes / photo storage I would like to upgrade the hard drive and RAM.
I have decided to go for a 250Gb Western Digital Scorpio (2.5") HDD but I am unsure what memory I need. I would like to have 2GB of RAM but I have a couple of questions:
Is 2GB adequate / Am i able to put 2Gb into the system?
Also, what memory do i need?
OC is selling Crucial 2x1Gb DDR2 PC2-5300 SODIMM under the Mac Mini Memory section - would I be able to install this (not sure if it will support PC2-5300)
Also, if possible I would like to install Leopard once I have upgraded, would the system be upto it?
