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
