Mac Mini 'shared' video memory?

I'm strongly considering a Mac Mini. I recently picked up a G4 eMac and fell pretty hard for it but want an affordable step up from a G4 'cause I'm a (soon to be ex) PC 'power' user and require a certain amount of zap-zing-pow for the price. The Mac Mini says 256mb shared memory for its nVidia 9400 video hardware. Does this mean it uses 256mb of system memory? IE - a 2gb Mac Mini is really 1.8gb because 256mb is being used for video?

That is correct. However, Apple says that the mini supports 4 GB of RAM. 3rd parties report that it supports 8 GB of RAM. YMMV.
What do you mean by "power user"?

Is there a way to upgrade my mac mini's video memory?

I want to have a new video/graphics card for my mac mini, but i'm not sure if it's possible, and if it is possible how to do it.
Please help!!

16Gb is the maximum amount of memory the MacMini will support. I have a Mid 2011 MacMini server that I have swapped the 2 500GB spinning hard drives and Replaced them with a 1.5TB spinning Hard Drive & a 240GB SSD (ssd being my boot drive) the SSD with mac a night a day difference in the day to day operation of your mac mini.
Here is some of what I have done to my Mini:

Hi Brian,
Nope, or not very well...
Display Support:
Dual Displays
Resolution Support:
1920x1200*
2nd Display Support:
Dual/Mirroring*
2nd Max. Resolution:
2560x1600*
Details:
*This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI or a DVI display (using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter) and2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port).

If i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

if i have multiple iPhones and Mac Mini sharing the same Apple ID, can I use Facetime between the devices?

Yes, but if you want these devices to have complete capability of calling each other they each must have their own separate, individual e mail address. If they don't have individual e mail addresses, the i phones will be able to call each other because you'll be using their individual phone numbers -- the Mac mini will be able to call the i phones, but, the iphones will not be able to call the Mac mini. This is because the iphones will be using the mini's e- mail address to make the call, and if they have the same e mail address, they will think they are calling themselves, so the call will not connect.
So, the way I see it is, if you keep all of the email addresses the same, the only thing you'll loose is the ability of the iphones to call the mini.
EDIT: Thinking about it, my first sentence needs to be modified. Your iphones can share an email address but it must be different from the Mac mini address.
This isn't rocket science, but it can make your head spin. LOL

HT4534 Mac Mini HD Video Conferencing

I am considering purchase of a mac-mini for video conferencing. This article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4534?viewlocale=en_US) refers to "built in camera". Of course, the mac-mini has no built in camera. I would be using my HDTV for a monitor. Can I use the Logitech c910 & the mini for HD Facetime?

I also have a mac mini and am using the Logitech C920. At the beggining, I had issues with its built in mics not working with FaceTime, but I found a solution for the problem and now all the programs that interface with the camera work great (FT, Skype, iMovie, etc). If you do buy the C920 run into the same issue that I had with the mic not working, here is the quick solution for the problem:
Cause of Problem: The Logitech C920 camera/mic operates on a 2ch-16bit integer. You can verify this by opening "finder + Utilities + Audio MIDI Setup" and then select the HD Pro Webcam C920 and look at the "Input" Default values.
The Mac Mini's "Built-In Output" and "Buiilt-In Input" formats were set for 2ch-24 bit integer. Therefore, the default input and output were out of sync with the C920 default format.
Solution: Change the Mac Mini's default Output to "2ch-16 bit integer". You don't need to change the default Input but it doesn't hurt to do so. Once you do this, the camera and it's built in mics work on facetime and all other video chat applications.

Mac mini no video from hdmi

Mac mini no video signal to Hdmi.. Recently upgraded to beta OS X could be issue but with no signal means no screen

I solved my issue . . . returned the Toshiba for an Insignia . . works great.

How to increase the shared video memory on Portege M100

I have a Portege M100 and I would to increase the shared video memory. In the technical documentation: shared video memory 16-64MB
I have 768MB of RAM
but can't do it in the Bios or Windows.
where i can do it ?
(i'm french, sorry for the bad english)

Hi
I have also noticed that on units with Intel graphic chard it is not possible to ser shared memory usage manually and it works automatically. On units with ATI graphic card manual selection is possible.
Why is 16 MB in usage and not more, about that we can just speculate. If you want try to check Intel page. As far as I know they have very good explanations for own technology. Maybe you will find something there.

How do you increase shared video memory?

I own an iMac with 256mb of shared video memory and have been dying to find a way of making the computer use more of my 8gb of RAM for video memory than it currently is (specifically for an improved gaming performance). Does anyone know of a way? Thanks in advance.

Shared video memory? What's that? Your computer has ram, your video card has ram. You can change the amount of ram in your computer. But your video card is what it is. It cannot be changed.
I think what your want is more ram for your computer. Go to OWC to see possible choices for your model. You don't have to buy there if you don't want (but I always recommend them). But at least you will see what choices are available to you.

How to adjust shared video memory size - R10/R600 Win7 Prof 32bit

Hi,
I use two laptops in business - R600 and R10. Both with Intel 4500 graphic card and shared video memory. Both win Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. In both cases system reserves 1159MB for video memory. As I don't play any games I have no need to waste such a huge memory amount - I would like to free as much as possible for system and programs.
For trial purposes I installed Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. Surprisingly it reserves only 199MB for video memory - so it looks like OS issue.
Does anybody know how can I decrease the video memory size in Windows 7 32bit?
Regards,
pab 567

As far as I know this cannot be done manually and shared memory is controlled by system.
If you dont use it for gaming I dont see any problem there. I dont know what kind of activity you do with your notebook but I cannot imagine there is no enough memory for every day activities.
Is there not enough power for certain operations or what?

Shared Video Memory Configuration?

I have a laptop Lenovo B490 5935-6014, Intel Core i3 3110m, 4GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 4000, using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
How to adjust shared video memory? I think shared video memory is too large (1696MB).
I tried going to BIOS setup and I saw nothing about that...
Can you help me???
Sorry for my poor English
Thanks.

hi AnonymousK,
Welcome to the Forums.
When you check system properties, are you getting a Total Memory: 4GB (2328GB Usable) or similar?
- if this is your case, the problem might lie on the system's BIOS. By default, the system automatically allocates all the physical RAM that it could use but if you have integrated graphics, this BIOS automatically share and allocate some of the RAM to the GPU to improve its performance.
- If you don't have a memory remmaping feature in the BIOS that controls how much RAM is allocated to the GPU, this is most likely a limitation of the system.
Another thing is the Physical Address Extension (PAE) that the OS uses to utilize system memory. Since you're using a 64bit version of Windows, this feature is already enabled. In some cases, you need to use a PAE Patch to correct the total memory reported above.
Best regards,
neokenchi

Shared video memory is not wrking!

Hello, I just purchased the HP Pavillion dv7-1135nr, with the "ATI radeon HD 3500" graphics card with shared video memory and 2.0 ghz amd turion x2. Since the shared video memory can go up to 2 gb, I figured it would play half life 2 with ease. But I was wrong, it is lagging when I play the game! can you please tell me a way to increase the video memory manually? Thanks a lot for your help.

Well I have posted this many times over the years but the basic mistake is to equate video storage with video power. All the video memory in the world does not help if the video engine is not powerful enough to move the pixels.
Check This
The ATI Radeon HD 3200 (not 3500) that you have is a low power video chip. You are not the first to make this maistake and typically the sales people at Best Buy, etc. and even the advertising does not make it really clear that you are getting a business and entertainment video system, not for gaming.

How is new Mac mini's shared video memory limited?

If I upgrade my memory, say from 1GB to 4GB, will the limit of shared memory size be raised?

You've actually posted in the iPod Mini forum.
Look here for the Mac Mini forum:

Best of luck.

Late 2011 Mac Mini slow video refresh on Yosemite

I was rather happily running Mavericks, but decided why not on the upgrade to Yosemite after rough testing on my MBA, but after installation video performance has been awful on my Mini. Mission control has an awful framerate during it's animation, and when using (ImageJ) drawing/refreshing an open image windows is painstakingly slow. Below is the output from Etrecheck and Linc's script. I do not have similar issues on my MBA, and I did not have this issue on Mavericks.

I went all the way down to 720p (the lowest I could take it) with scaling and it didn't really help. The weird thing is that when I play something in Steam the GPU is fine, but using Mission control with a lot of windows open, or opening a lot of windows really bogs it down (which it didn't do a week ago in Mavericks). My feeling is that it is a poorly written graphic driver and that my issues with imageJ are because it is using the driver in a way that is failing like it is in Finder/Mission Control, and in Steam it's getting to the hardware in its own way. I've sent feedback to Apple about it.

Mac mini for video editing

I have just started to video edit and need a new machine. As of now I have a late 2006 black MacBook. It is very slow and lags in iMovie. I am considering getting a ssd but I know that won't help entirely. I will use this machine to run final cut pro x or possible final cut 7. I will also be doing stuff involving special effects and what not. I am still new too this stuff. I love film and want to make a couple short films. I am going to college for history and communicatins and want to get my noise wet before hand. Would you consider a Mac mini good for a starter and something that will last a couple of years. Also what model. I want to put a ssd in it and want to know of toi is hard to do. I want quad core so I am looking into the server model. Is the server worth the money? Please don't tell me to get an iMac I don't like them. The glossy screen hurts my eyes and besides I have a grat set up. I have a 23" apple cinema display, keyboard, mouse, and magic trackpad. Or do you think I should get a 15" MBP.

I went to the Apple Store last night after work to by the Mac Mini, but they wanted to charge me an extra £80 compared to the online price. I wanted the 1gb memory upgrade and apparently they was going to charge me for the 500mb they would have to take out to put the 1gb in.
So guess what, I didn't buy it. I've got the order placed online though. Can't wait for it to be delivered, should be about 7 days apparently.

Mac mini for video / music production

hello!
i'm really into music and video, i currently do all my video work in premiere pro on the pc, and music is done in a combination of packages like reason, soundforge, etc.
i'm really tempted by the offer of a mac mini for a few hundred pounds complete with garageband, imovie, etc. plus i can always get final cut on there too.
I am serious about what i do and would want high quality results. what i'm asking is basically, consdiering the specs of the mac mini, (i'd have to go for the top of the range to get the dvd writer) will it be capable of performing well with video work and more importantly, will garageband let me do professional sounding sequencing and mixing?
or am i kidding myself that the mini is capable? because if the option is buying a G5, i'll use the cash to upgrade my windows pc instead. it's all about tools for the job for me, i've got no brand loyalty.
thanks for any advice / opinions!!
-the swan

There's no doubt that the mini CAN do what you want - it outperforms many Mac systems that have been sucessfully doing pro-level video and audio work for years. On the video side the system is very capable, and whether in iMovie or Final Cut, professional results are achievable. Indeed, being digital, there's no practical way to tell from the rsult whether it came off a mini or an old G3 iMac or a brand new G5 tower. The mini's only drawback is that rendering takes time. Less time than older systems, and more time than a G5 would. Some rendering (such as transitions or effects in iMovie) run in the background and don't prevent continuing work.
On the audio side, I'll leave that to people who have a better knowledge of the application than I do as a rather 8th-rate amateur!
As for the model you should buy, I would suggest NOT the $699 version with superdrive. I'd suggest you buy the $599 model, replace the 512Mb RAM with a 1Gb stick, and add an external burner. That way you would be getting enough memory to give the mini a solid performance in video work, and giving yourself the choice of DVD burner which not only would include possible dual layer devices (the superdrive is single) but also better burn speeds.

Mac Mini 'shared' video memory?
