Good news.

You can also put these memory modules in the 2011 Mac mini. They clock down to 1333MHz. Just don't mix speeds ie. one 1600MHz chip, one 1333 MHz chip.

After seeing some Geekbench scores for the quad-core i7-based Mac minis, I'm seriously thinking about getting one and upgrading to 16GB. Take that and a Fusion drive and you'll have yourself one little rocket of a system. Who really even needs a Mac Pro at that point?
