Use unified memory, not SSD capacity. On Apple silicon, 512GB storage does not mean 512GB RAM.

Separate pages for each real memory tier catch exact searches without inventing hardware.

Can a Mac mini be upgraded to more RAM later?

Not an Apple-silicon Mac mini. Its unified memory is integrated into the chip package and Apple says it cannot be upgraded after purchase. SSD or external-storage upgrades are a separate issue and do not increase the memory available to an LLM. That is why this checker uses the Mac's original unified-memory tier.
