hey what's up guys mkbhd here back with another video in the fastest Matt committee on the face of the planet earth video series yeah so if you appreciate this video series or if you like it go ahead and give a thumbs up on this video it really does help us out and it'll get this next episode of rolling out pretty quick either way this is going to be one of the shorter videos in this series as it's a pretty simple upgrade but today we're going to be upgrading the 2011 Mac minis random access memory yeah so let's go ahead and get started with this one so for this particular upgrade there are no screwdrivers or any sort of tools needed just the Mac Mini and the 16 gigabytes of ddr3 RAM which can be found at that link in the description and possibly a supervisor to help us out this Ram here is 1333 megahertz Ram the fastest that this Mac minis motherboard can handle and we got it from other World Computing as you can see here by the way if you're wondering about the total cost or prices of this build we'll have that covered in a sort of conclusive video later but on with the RAM unboxing which was super duper easy I actually did need a tool for this but you just open it and bam there's the RAM that right you can take the mini flip it over and find where the dots line up that hold the back on and you can twist it off and have all the access to the internal same as before and the RAM happens to be right on top so it's super easiest for us here and makes it easier than the SSD install we did earlier basically we can unseat both of the pre-installed two gigabyte RAM chips just by pulling the metal brackets apart and popping the dims up where they can be slid out and you can take both of them out leaving the slots empty and then installing a brand new Ram is equally simple just make sure you seat the RAM first by slipping it into place and then pushing it down until it clicks and do that with both of your dims and that's it the RAM is installed so you can put the back cover back on the mini and boot back into Lion once you boot it back up if all goes well you should be able to go straight into OS 10 and hit that Apple logo in the menu bar and click about this Mac where you can confirm that your memory total is now 16 gigabytes and if you want further proof that both of your 8 gigabyte DIMMs are working just click more info under memory you'll have a handy dandy little diagram for you so there you go your 13 three through megahertz random access memory is now in full operation boom thanks for watching this video and in the next part we'll really see what this machine can do so leave a thumbs up if you want to see it sooner either way see you next time guys you
