Mac Mini EFI Update 1.2 Enables 8GB

Excellent news, will deffo purchase 2x4gb sticks when they're priced acceptably in 12 months or so.

I rarely hammer my Mini to the extent that I'd really need 8gb, but it'll seriously prolong it's useful life, along with an SSD.

So if I'm shopping for RAM, say on macramdirect, that's what I should enter for the model I'm shopping for? Seriously considering picking up a 4GB stick. Somehow I manage to really use up what I have with Logic, Safari, and a bunch of other stuff going.

Yes. That's the RAM I've tried and it's working well.

I've just bought some Kingston 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 Kit (2x4GB)
KTA-MB1066K2/8G

I'll post here once it's installed to confirm compatibility.
 
I'm running OSX Server 10.6.1 on a mac mini with 2x4GB Kingston RAM. All working very nicely :)
 
We've now had a couple customers send in Mac minis with 8GB of RAM and they're working well for them.

Very happy to see it.
 
Glad everyone is liking this! I know that a few of my customers are loving it!
 
would this still be possible with the latest mini's released 20/10/09?
Surely it would? ...
 
yeah had since found out, but thanks.

I don't think they have to be, but the memory subsystem doesn't work quite as well if they're not.
I'm not sure about the graphics subsystem, it may or may not expand out to the maximum 256MB.

It would.

But can I have 1GB paired with a 4GB? Or do the memories have to be the same size in order to work properly?
