Q: can I upgrade my mac mini memory?
Hello all,
I have a Mac Mini with 4 Gb RAM running OSX 10.8.4. I want to do some astrophotography on Photoshop that sums dozens of low-light photographs to bring out a faint image. This process is quickly eating up all the available RAM on my Mini which means it slows way down once it starts using scratch disk space. Photoshop recommends more RAM.
So here are my questions:
Can I upgrade my Mac Mini's RAM to 8 or 16 Gb?
Can I do this myself?
Where can I acquire the memory devices?
Sorry if this has been answered previously; I didn't find it in my search.
Thanks for any assistance,
Kevin H.

According to Apple the mid-2011 Mac mini supports up to 8 GB of RAM, however third parties have successfully installed up to 16 GB.
As far as the actual process of upgrading the RAM, here is more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432
