I have a ~2007 Mac Mini which chugs along magnificently in my lounge room as a PVR, DVD player (and ripper), big-screen internet access, iTunes, photos, ect... But as you'll see from the specs below, if I'm try to do all these things at once, its struggles with its 1GB of RAM. So time to upgrade.

Then I thought I should do the HDD as well, then i thought maybe I should put in a SSD to try and increase prformance a bit. Then I thought... ok enough.

How hard is it to stick new RAM into this model Mini?, and can I put in a SSD drive into it? and how hard would that be??

Upgrading the RAM is dead easy: just turn it over. However, it may not be possible to easily upgrade the HDD. Check OWC's site to see if they have a kit to enable such an upgrade.
