My last bit of internet sleuthing agrees with you… > I think it is about time I took that beast apart and looked inside I did this project on a MacMini 1,1 yesterday, and indeed there are 2 RAM slots there. I upgraded it to the maximum 2G which makes a noticable difference, to be honest, and also allows 32-bit 10.6.8, Windows 8.1, or some 32bit ubuntu versions (maybe 20.4, I read).
While I was in there I threw in a 10x larger HD I had around, and cleaned the optical drive so it works properly again. All with spare parts I had lying around from previous machine upgrades. I read I can change the processor to a core2 duo on that machine; so we'll see about that someday perhaps. Thanks for triggering the enthusiasm to get in there! Ken
