Feb 16, 2013 10:07 AM in response to kkinyogby den.thed,Exactly which year model Mac Mini do you have...?
see > How to identify Mac mini models
I'm pretty sure that only works on the latest 2012 models with the Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip.

Feb 16, 2013 12:14 PM in response to kkinyogby rohan.ventura,Hi kkinyog, I suppose you mean from 256MB to 512MB video ram....
It was more than a year ago when I increased the ram. I don't remember having any problems. Of course the ram has to be compatible. And if I remember rightly I only had to reboot for it to show up.
Good Luck !

Feb 16, 2013 12:31 PM in response to rohan.venturaby den.thed,★HelpfulThanks for the update rohan.ventura, I wasn't sure if it also worked with the Intel HD Graphics 3000 as well.
I know that is does not with the NVIDIA GeForce 320M in my 2010 and pretty sure the 2011 Radeon HD 6630M chips.
