My 2009 Mac mini had 8gb of RAM. And it wasn't even very expensive to do so when I did it in ~2013. Couple hundred bucks max.

Couple hundred bucks for 8 gigs of ram?

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah I didn't even pay a hundred bucks for the 32GB of RAM in my current desktop, and it's DDR5.

11 years ago. May very well have been less. Apples still probably charging more than that to go from 8 to 16 and I had to buy all 8 and replace both DIMMS.
