Don't think it can do dual screen, and the Apple default is now DDR3.

Two displays are better than one.
Mac mini comes with both mini-DVI and Mini DisplayPort output ports, so you can connect two displays to do more with your photos, movies, and files. Choose the beautiful, widescreen Apple LED Cinema Display or displays available from many third parties.

As for upgrading, you void the warranty as it involves kind of "breaking into it" and it uses laptop RAM.

And you'll need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adaptor to get it working with dual screen.

Urgh, they're terrible. Why can't they just be normal and have a normal DVI port and not just assume people want another object dumped into the equation? It's so frustrating using any sort of MacBook and have to rely on something that doesn't need to exist, considering they don't take up that much space :/

Actually you get a better deal going through the NUS website to get to the Apple store.

£449 vs £469 ;D

How do you get to the other student Apple site? The NUS one leads me to the one that shows £449, but I can't see anything to do with other students :S

EDIT: Found it, I think. Went through the school settings, but won't let me through college (for some reason) and naturally I'm not at my University to log-in :P
