It is not clear what you are trying to do, but RAM for a 2011 will be dirt cheap and easy to install, you can max is out very affordably. You may have 2 slots or 4 slots, 8 GB in each will be real nice if supported. (check everymac.com). Source: 10 months ago

I use the everymac.com website to compare the relative computing power of Macs. The Geekbench 5 section tells you the multicore scores to show you how much work they can do. The M1 mini is comparable to the 2020 iMac 27 with the i7-10700k CPU. Source: 12 months ago
