However, memory intensive applications (e.g., video/photo editors, games) could take a big performance hit. Non-memory intensive applications won't see much of a difference performance wise if you're using unmatched RAM module sizes. With matching memory modules the system will use dual channel transfers (basically, the system will stripe physical memory between the two physical RAM modules giving better throughput). However if you don't use a matched paired of memory modules, then memory access will be limited to single channel bandwidth. The memory modules don't have to be same size (so you could use a 4GB + 16GB one), as long both modules have the same speed/timings. The 2018 Mini with 8GB would be configured as 2x4GB. You can order a set of Torx security screw drivers for the price of those two. The iFixit prices for the individual TR6 and TR10 (also called T6H and T10H, respectively) screw drivers are a bit steep.
