  • I just tried using cinebench on my i3 pc and I got 14.36 open GL and 2.85 cpu, any thoughts ?

  • @xLITTLETOMMYx What is your GPU? That's the deciding factor.

  • Will you loose any memory?

  • @imacc2009 Nope. 

  • does final cut come on it or you gotta buy that program?

  • @MattFMF Do, it's a separate expense, it comes with iMovie out of the box.

  • Thanks for the helpful video. I was able to upgrade my mini with the Crucial 8GB kit successfully. It made a huge difference on performance. But I notice the machine to be noisier than before the upgrade, and the noise doesn't seem to be coming from the fan. Any thoughts as to why?

  • Does this void the warranty
