While I'm old and a little hard of hearing, there is no need to shout by typing in all caps.


Yes your 2011 Mac Mini can take 2 x 8GB = 16GB of RAM. However, all Mac's including the Mac Mini's are very picky and not just any aftermarket RAM modules will work. Your best bet is to order a 16GB kit for your Mac Mini directly from OWC macsales.com.
