Mine was the cheapest one they had when they first started selling them.
I've since upgraded the RAM to 1GB, but I still have the 256MB stick and
can replace it to do low-memory tests. I do have an external DVD burner
which I use with my netbook that also works with the Mini, and the CD drive
in my Mini can read DVDs (but cannot burn them). At least from the Mini's
standpoint, everyone who owns a Mini can burn a CD, so we should probably
attempt to keep it CD-sized so they can burn their own disc instead.
