Hey everyone, I am just soo excited!!! I am getting a mac! I love them,,!!// I love them, sorry for all the smilies. I can't wait. I am getting a mac mini, any suggestions on what to do to it like upgrades or is it fine. All i do is surf, adobe photoshop, and I will get BBEdit. But otherwise, just play and chat.

if you bought it with its defaults I would recommend at least 512MB RAM (install it yourself a lot cheaper unless it voids your warrentee) and....... ya thats it! Also change the OS X setting to w/e you want

whats ram do (sry) lol

That's The Computer Memorie

I just ordered my Mac

After you get it, go buy some ram from Crucial.com and put in the specs of your mac Mini, it will help you pick the ram. You also need a display as well as a keyboard/mouse.


Mac mini's are fun... I know, I own one.

Mac minis are great little boxes. I love mine.

I know, I got the Wireless KB/M from Apple.com but I do have a 17" Flat LCD monitor that I used on my PC.. It says it is Mac compatiable..

Most of them are nowadays.. life is much easier for both OS/system users, which is nice to see for a change.

Yes, I am on my new mac!

Sorry for not answering your PM mate... was late. All you need a putty knife and to be careful how you take the covering off to add more ram.

it should help you understand... you will need quicktime.

Cool.. Will having more ram make it faster?

yes a TON faster... when I took out my extra 512 out of my moms her PC slowed down SO much...

I suggest at least 1 Gig

Does anyone know a lot about macs, and monitors to get speakers to work? Post here or AIM me: xxtyd3rxx please!

Plug them into the speaker jack and you should be good to go.

My monitor has one cord: the main one... everyone tells me to do that. On my PC, I plugged in the main cord and the speakers automatically worked..

Does anyone know how lol or is there supposed to be another cord..?

Where do you buy ram, the best place?

Would you reccomend 512 MB or 1 GB. Is the 512 MB enough to make my mac faster, or do I need a 1 GB to make it fast? Sorry for double.. triple... quadrupal posting..

Use the edit button

And as previously suggested Crucial.com for your ram.

Yes.. but what would you recommend?
