crucial ddr333 / pc2700 / cl 2.5 --> �94

Corsair ddr400 / pc3200 / cl3 --> �115

i am not sure which one i need?

any 1 gig users? can you please state which ram you have?

any UK people? if so where did you purchase your ram?

thanks,

does newegg do UK shipping? if so get it from them. PQI 1G sticks for around $135 US. Lots of mini users getting it from there. Haven't heard of one unhappy buyer.

I'm currently using the PQI 1GB stick, its perfect, works great, i've had it since i bought the mini Feb. 28th.

Newegg does not ship to the UK though...they don't even ship to Canada.

Truthfully, all you SHOULD need for your mini is the PC2700. The G4 in the machine runs at 167MHz, or DDR333, which is what PC2700 does. The PC3200 might let you run it at 2700 CAS 2, but the last I checked, no Mac ever allowed memory latency timings to be adjusted, so you'd be wasting the money to go better.

thank you omar96,

finally someone answered the question i posted.....much appreciated.

i phone crucial UK.....they say get the pc3200 as you already have a 256mb pc3200 as standard. though they have sold loads of pc2700 1gb's to mini owners.

the pc2700 is �93.99 whilst the pc3200 is �96.34

which should i order?

thanks,

1 GIG

pc3200 / ddr4000 / cl3 / 2.6v or pc2700/ ddr333 / cl2.5 / 2.5v

i cant seem to find the perfect answer.

thanks,

Here's what Apple has to say: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300572

hi X-Ray,

thank you very much for that link.

PC2700 or PC3200 Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM)
2.5 volt --> the pc3200 i was looking at was 2.6v

'Using PC3200 memory does not provide additional speed benefits. Although the Mac mini supports PC3200 DIMMs, the PC3200 RAM will operate at PC2700 (333 MHz) speeds' --> saves me �2 ish lol

pc2700 it is then

thanks again,

You're welcome. 2 quid is 2 quid - go buy yourself a pint with the leftover money.
