How much does memory matter in Mac Mini?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

That being said, more RAM will help compensate for slower processors, a slower bus, and slower HD in your perception of its everyday speed. If you feel comfortable doing so I would buy the RAM separately (from crucial or newegg) and install it yourself. The OS is far more responsive with more RAM and with a 5400rpm hard drive the extra RAM is worth it in my opinion.
Coding itself is not very intensive, but coders like to switch back and forth between apps often and that is where having more RAM will really help you out.

You can always upgrade your RAM later if you decide to use the machine as a normal desktop and run intensive applications (Photoshop), watch videos, etc.
