Of course I want one...

…its just that the new Mac Mini comes with a totally pathetic 256MB of RAM. Anyone who has ever tried to use OSX with 256MB will tell you that it is not a pleasant experience.
Yes yes, I could upgrade the installed RAM to 1GB (Why not two? Or will it maybe be able to take larger memory as it decreases in physical size?) But Apple are charging a nearly unbelievable £290 for an extra 768MB!
As yet, I have no idea whether or not end users’ will be able to upgrade the RAM easily themselves. Let’s hope so.

Ulp, really? Even just for browsing / remote access use? More than 256MB is a lot of RAM, especially at Apple prices..

For remote access via the command line- fine, mostly. But using a web browser? Good luck…

Maybe you need to have a look at this so you can upgrade
