16GB kit breathed new life into the Mac Mini in mid-2010; Works great

Bought for a memory upgrade on my Mac Mini in mid 2010. Everyone should already have it even if they're only half-heartedly trying to update the software on their Mac Mini, it can be 16 Support GB RAM. I took out 4GB (2 dimmers) and replaced it with 16GB. kit and I downloaded it and it worked perfectly. I'll also say I thought about saving up and getting 8GB, but I'm glad I paid the extra for 16GB. When I looked at the memory used, it was already over 8GB (yes, I understand that OS X has its own algorithm and wouldn't use that much if the total memory was limited to 8GB, but for me that means that if there was no limit, OS X would use >= 8 GB). It breathed a whole new life into my Mac Mini and I have no intention of replacing it *soon*.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
