I have had this 2011 Mini since 2013 and it has been attached to my TV for most of its' life. It has 4GB of RAM and even when I am not running anything, I get the rainbow wheel here and there for a few seconds. This has happened with all iterations of OS I have installed on it including the newest one.
I originally bought it as a backup Pshop machine but it is too slow to handle even 12mp images let alone the 36mp from my current camera.
Is investing about $130 in RAM to take it to 16GB max going to significantly (rid of rainbow wheel and sluggishness) make this machine useable or is it just destined to be slow no matter what?
