Device Info
The Mac mini Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz brought significantly improved graphics capabilities to the Mac mini, thanks to the addition of a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics card. This mini was released in Late 2009.
This Mac mini offers two RAM slots, enabling a maximum of 4 GB of RAM using two PC3-8500 2 GB RAM Chips. If your mini's RAM isn't already maxed out, adding more RAM is a cost-effective way to improve performance. Need more storage?
