Can I upgrade my Mac Mini to 1GB ram?

History

My serial number for my mac mini is ym51221wrht. Everything about it is all original… nothing was updated. The last time I used it was 2008, and now I have use for it in a spare bedroom. The only problem is, everything over the years has been upgraded around it to the point where I can't really use it anymore. Am I able to get an airport card installed as well as a 1GB ram and Leopard system?

Airport Card:

You can install an airport extreme card.

Airport Extreme Card

RAM:

Here's the ram that would work for this computer:

PC3200 1 GB RAM Chip (Desktop)

Can it use Leopard?:

Based on that serial number you gave, you have a Power PC (A1103) model which will support up to Mac OS 10.5.8 so yes you can install Leopard on this machine.

Depends

Leopard runs only on Intel Macs, so if it's an early model PowerPC ('05/early '06) no. Looks like it will take the RAM upgrade.

Leopard runs on PPC machines. SNOW LEOPARD needs Intel Chipset.

Majesty,

Thanks - too many kitty's to remember I guess.
