I am, of course, referring to <strong>the upgrade videos for the Mac mini Server<\/strong>. This installment covers the process for upgrading the memory inside.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to go on and on about how <strong>adding more memory to your Mac improves performance<\/strong>; <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/apple\/memory\/Macbook_Memory_Benchmarks\">we&#8217;ve covered that topic quite extensively already<\/a>. Though the Mac mini Server comes with 4GB installed by default, it is capable of handling twice that much. While you can&#8217;t get it from Apple, <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/memory\/Apple_Mac_mini\/DDR3\"><strong>you <\/strong><em><strong>can<\/strong><\/em><strong> get up to 8.0GB from OWC<\/strong><\/a>. Once you get your OWC memory upgrade, our step-by-step video will walk you through the process of installing it. You can find the video (and all of our other install videos) both in <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/installvideos\/mac_mini_server_mem\/\">our Tech Center<\/a> and on our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/OWCmacsales\/\">YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if after viewing the video, you decide that you&#8217;d rather not upgrade your mini yourself, <strong>you may want to check our our Installation Service<\/strong>. We offer quick turnaround (usually &lt;24 hours from when it arrives here) and is a great option for those who want the benefits of the upgrade, but not the hassle of the upgrade process. <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/mac-mini\/install\/\">Check out our Web site<\/a> or contact one of our helpful sales staff for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Either way you go, with more memory in your Mac mini Server, you&#8217;re going to enjoy increased performance &#8211; which is always good in a server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We hinted at this latest installment in our Instructional Video series a couple of weeks ago, but we had other things (such as Black Friday\/Cyber Monday specials) on our plates which kind of delayed it.
