FOUND: Mac Mini 2010 RAM - decay - 12-07-2017
My parents' Mac Mini (2010) has only 4 GB RAM.
Anyone with spare 4GB modules?
204-pin PC3-8500 (1066/1067 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
One or even a matched pair would be cool. Maybe someone upgraded from 8 GB to 16 GB at some point?
Thanks!
Swapped out a pair (see update post) and have some I can use.

decay,
I have two 4GB PC3-12800 sticks. They should be backwards compatible with the machine.

No problem. Just trying to help.

Update:
I was able to swap faster RAM into our old Mid-2010 Macbook Pro at work.
It now has Elpida PC3-12800 modules in place, which are recognized as PC3-8500, 1067 MHz modules. Pretty cool!
I'll use the ones I pulled from the MBP to put into my parents' Mini.
