Hi Gail,
Ashley's response regarding the older Mac Mini should work for you as far as
opening it up. I think the tool she was referring to is a putty knife.
Also, there are lots of websites that list the compatible RAM and hard drives.
My personal favorite is Other World Computing at www.macsales.com.
On that site, select the link labeled "Memory, RAM, SD." Then select Mac Mini
and then Mac Mini 2007 - 2008. There you will find more specs and options for RAM and
hard drive upgrades. A quick look shows that model can physically accept up to 4 GB RAM
but is limited to addressing up to 3 GB of that RAM.
HTH,
Bryan

Hi,
It's a Macmini2,1
1.83 GHZ intel dual core processor, running 1 GB of ddr2 SDRam consisting of
two 512 MB ram sticks bus speed 667 MHZ, and an 80 GB serial AD * which I'm
assuming is what I know as a sataHard drive version 10.5.8. I'm planning
to upgrade to Snow leopard, once I get these other upgrades done. Possibly
sooner! It has a rubber material on the bottom, if that helps any.

Hi Gail,
Welcome to the List! Some Mac Minis are harder than others to upgrade. Can
you tell us what model of Mini you have, the processor, RAM and hard drive
size / interface? You can find all of this info in the System Profiler
application found in your Applications / Utilities folder. Also tell us what
exact version of OSX you are running. You can find this by choosing the
Apple menu and selecting "About this Mac."
Cheers,
Bryan

2. I'd love to upgrade both my RAM and my hard drive. Is the Hard drive
a
laptop drive?
3. Also, has anyone opened up a Mac Mini, and if so, could you write me
off
list, and tell me how it opens?
