Will I gain speed by upgrading?

I have a 2009 Mac Mini with the following--
Model Identifier:     Macmini3,1
Processor Name:            Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:           2.26 GHz
Number Of Processors:            1
Total Number Of Cores:            2
L2 Cache:   3 MB
Memory:     8 GB
Bus Speed:           1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version:         MM31.0081.B06
SMC Version (system): 1.35f0
Hardware UUID: 2189302E-8DEE-51A6-B797-F9502BD6E64D
Lately it sure seems slow. Will I gain some speed if I buy the new mini 2.5Ghz dual-core Intel Core i5?
Any suggestions as to what I can do with the old Mac Mini?
Can I take 4GB ram out of the old to put in the new?
Thanks!

Note the costs given i the article are out of date. The article says:
You could upgrade your entire hard drive but with a 480G SSD drive costing $1579.99, it’s not a cheap option! So an alternative is to upgrade to a smaller boot drive (a 64G drive costs $119) to run just OSX and your applications, and leave your existing hard disk for all your user files.
Yu can get a 500 GB SSD for $339

Nice to see 13" retina but it has only Intel HD Graphics 4000 and does not have NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory card. How it will affect the speed, performance and other things compared to 15" retina where NVIDIA GeForce card is available.

The 15" Retina's will have better performance than any 13" Retina. Not only do the 15" machines have dedicated GPU's, but they also have quad-core processors, whereas the 13" Retina's only have dual-core processors.

I need to upgrade Snow Leopard to get icloud before my mobileme expires at the end of June. If I buy Lion, will I be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion free when it comes out? When is MLion going to be released in UK?

I am running Snow Leopard and have a Mobile Me account. My Mobile Me account expires at the end of June. I have been told that I will need to buy the Lion upgrade to run icloud on my imac, but I am aware that Lion is due to be replaced by Mountain Lion this summer. I don't want to have to buy two up grades! Will Mountain Lion be released before my mobile me account expires? If not and I buy the Lion upgrade, will I be able to upgrade it to Mountain Lion, free, in view of the fact that I will only have had Lion for a very short time and could not avoid this purchase??????

HI...
We have no way of knowing exactly when Mountain Lion will be released. Most likely, if you upgrade to Lion now you'll be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but the actual minimum requirements are unknown at this time.
Lion is only $29.99 plus any applicable taxes and fees and available from the App Store, or you can purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications

If I buy my Iphone 5 now, will I be able to upgrade it if a new one comes out for free?

I am looking to buy an Iphone 5, but I have seen that a new model is due soon. Should I wait or will Apple upgrade it if I buy it now?

Apple will not provide a free upgrade to any future model.

I need to replace my iPhone 4S due to a hardware problem. Will I be offered to upgrade to iPhone 5 for an extra fee?

Hey everyone. I have an iPhone 4S that needs replacing due to obvious hardware issues (shuts down randomly on its own). I have shown the panic.plist reports that it generates on another forum and they have confirmed the kernel and hardware problem.
Since replacing it is the only way to go for me, I was wondering whether Apple still offers the option to upgrade to the next model when going to replace a phone with warranty. What I mean is, if I go to an Apple Store and ask to replace my handset for a new one (with my warranty/receipt) will I be offered to upgrade to an iPhone 5 for an additional fee? Can I ask for this option?
Thanks!

Apple has NEVER offered this as an option.

Reason I had to chat with Customer Support is that I got the following message upon placing Upgrade Order.

Just make sure you update it to 10.6.8 (the last version of Snow Leopard) once you get it if it isn't running it already. Just go to the  menu and then Software Update. This will give you access to the App Store which is needed to download Yosemite.

Hi to All, My wife still has ios 6 on her ipad (she likes the look). I will do the 7.1 upgrade when it is released. Should there be any issues going from 6 directly to 7.1? Thanks!

There shouldn't be. I went from iOS5.whatever to iOS6.1 with no issues.
Just make sure to back everything up before you do it, just in case all doesn't go as planned.
I always do mine the old fashioned way, download the full OS via iTunes so if you've already got it linked to a computer and been using iTunes to do updates/syncing that's how I'd suggest you do it.

In a macbook pro i7 2.66 with DDR3 1066 MHz ram, mid 2010 I can put two 8GB ram each, I gained speed or recommend

In a macbook pro i7 2.66 with DDR3 1066 MHz ram, mid 2010 I can put two 8GB (1333 MHZ) ram each, I gained speed or recommend, or is it better for me to stay with 8GB, 4GB memory in two 1066 each

Stick to the specs give in your user manual. There is no benefit to installing faster rated RAM. It won't run any faster. Furthermore, it may not work at all.

What will I gain/lose by moving from Expression Media to Lightroom

I've been using Microsoft products in general for years, and in the context of what I'm asking here, the Expression suite since Version 1. Expression Design doesn't come anywhere near Photoshop CS5, which I've just bought, but as well as an editing program I need a decent asset management product. At the moment I use Expression Media mainly to catalog my photographs, but also use the HTML export function to create quick slide shows for the web. Microsoft has not updated Media since version 2 (not that that is a problem in itself) but has also sold it to Phase One, who haven't yet said what they will do with it.
My questions are, will Lightroom provide the same or better functionality as Media did as an asset management tool (since Adobe at least seem to be continuing to develop the program), and what else will I gain from it. At £200 it's not a huge investment, but I wouldn't like to think I may be spending it for no real advantage.
Thanks, from an enthusiastic amateur photograper.

I suspect many would have reservations about this. Lightroom is a very limited media asset manager. I do not think this is a design goal for the application. It is designed to manage raw files from supported cameras and some other files - jpg, psd and tiff - and track videos taken with the camera - that's about it.
Many would argue most of the development energy has gone into the dev module.
Another thing to consider is performance. Because LR is attempting to faithfully reproduce the image as per edits to the dev module it builds and updates a large preview library which has performance and disk space implications.
As suggested, try before you buy.

SLD will not start after I upgraded Netweaver 2004s Portal

SLD will not start after I upgraded Netweaver 2004s Portal from SP 14 to SP 15.
It gives me the following J2EE error:

Hi ,
as a first question: What versions of WAS / NWDS are you using?! (Main question is if you are using corresponding versions, i.e. NWDS 2.0.x with WAS 6.40 SP x, with the same value for x.)

gj,
Unless it has worked since the upgrading, I believe you should uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Will there ever be an upgrade for Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon d800 NEF files?

Will there ever be an upgrade to Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon D800 NEF files?

Why not use Lightroom 4 instead?
I mean, assuming you can get it running fast enough, you'll usually get better results with PV2012 - right? And in the cases where you prefer PV2010 (if there are any), it's there too...
