Mac Mini G4 Questions

Just start the usual set of programs you're using, run them for a while and then start Activity Monitor - under the System Memory tab you can see which amount of memory is in use. If it's below physical memory you'd gain nothing by upgrading the RAM.

512 MB might be slightly low at times but usually 1 GB is enough, provided you're not working with very large files and/or loads of programs.

:lol: Actually I'm 'using' an ancient PM9500 with currently 360 MB RAM. While it admittedly IS sluggish, it's still quite usable as long as you mind what you're doing. Recently it got upgraded from Jaguar to Tiger and it looks like I'd need a bit more RAM now.

Any 64 or 128 MB 5V DIMMs around anyone? ;-)

(Of course this is not my main machine, it's a bit like a toy to get to know OS X.)
