Hi, I am considering to buy a mac mini or ibook, can I purchase more ram
separately (after I get the system) with the same speed and install it in
myself?



Yes

Mac mini - You need to find instructions on the web (google perhaps), as Apple does not consider this a user installable option. In addition the Mac mini has only one RAM slot. Must remove exiting RAM card and replace it with larger card. Maximum capacity of Mac mini is 1GB card. What you do with the old memory card is up to you.

iBook - Comes with 1 empty memory card slot. This slot is located under the keyboard. Actually it is under the keyboard, under the Airport Extreme card, under a removable metal cover that that some very tiny philips head screws. The iBook does have built in RAM (256MB in current models), and can accept a 1GB card. Apple provides instructions on installing RAM in an iBook as part of the owners manual. If you wish to check out the owners manual before you buy, you can download a PDF copy from the Apple web site: http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/ibook/

A point of interest: Apparently, Apple has refreshed both the iBook line and the Mac Mini, upping standard RAM to 512 on both.

From experience, though I'm sure more is always better, 512 on my Mini has performed well _for my uses_.
