I'm going to upgrade my Mac mini's RAM soon from 256MB to either 512MB or 1GB, but the problem is I can't open the computer myself, and I'm afraid of what'll happen if I used the putty knife method. So I want to upgrade. Apparantly, the Apple Stores don't do so (it's not an option on their memory upgrade site last I checked) so I turn to CompUSA. If they do offer it, is the service cheap and reliable?

Does CompUSA have memory upgrade service?

I work at an Apple Store and we definetly do memory upgrades for Mac Minis. I don't know how it works at other stores, but at the one I work at it's something the Genius Bar takes car of. There's a $30 installation fee, but we usually don't charge that at our store.

Opening the Mac mini is rather easy. I've upgraded the ram twice and opened it quite a few times. It's not as hard as it looks, but opening the first time takes paitence. In anycase, I originally upgraded to 512 when I first got the Mac mini, then recently to 1 gig. I have a stick of 512 that I don't need, if you were looking to upgrade it to that I would sell it to you for next to nothing, like $35 shipped or so. Always willing to help out a fellow Mac user. 
Let me know.

Wow, good deal. Hope your offer is still available in around a week or two. Thanks.
Sure, no problem. Just hit me up on AIM when you're ready, my sn is the same as my user name.
