SOURCE: mac mini duo core intel processor 2ghz unable to connect

I have to make a raft of assumptions to answer this question. I will assume you have installed Windows using Boot Camp, are booting under Windows, and cannot connect to the internet over one of the two internet channels (wired or wireless).
Part of the documented procedure for installing Windows on a Mac is to insert the gray Apple system installation disc in the optical drive during one of the earliest boots of Windows. This disc contains drivers for the Apple-brand devices in the computer, which include the network interfaces. If you do not install these drivers, Windows will have no idea how to run those devices.
If this is not your problem, please ask again.

SOURCE: how can I boost up mac mini 2007

Your best bet beyond maxing out memory will be upgrading to an SSD. Depending on your operating system and versions of installed software, try using a program like XSlimmer to remove any powerpc files included in universal bundles.

Can i up grade my single core cpu pen4 550 3,4GHz to a Quad core or dual core either one would help

Depends on the socket type.. Socket 423 and 478 do not support core duo or quad core processor types. However, if you have LGA 775 (aka socket T) your motherboard will support the following:
Intel Pentium 4 (2.60 - 3.80 GHz)
Intel Celeron D (2.53 - 3.60 GHz )
Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition (3.20 - 3.73 GHz)
Intel Pentium D (2.66 - 3.60 GHz)
Pentium Extreme Edition (3.20 - 3.73 GHz)
Pentium Dual-Core (1.40 - 3.33 GHz)
Intel Core 2 Duo (1.60 - 3.33 GHz)
Intel Core 2 Extreme (2.66 - 3.20 GHz)
Intel Core 2 Quad (2.33 - 3.00 GHz)
Intel Xeon (1.86-3.40 GHz)
Intel Celeron (1.60 - 2.40 GHz)

Compatible upgrade processor for intel pentium

The E5200 would be a nice upgrade. It retails on Newegg.com for 65-69.00 and usually has free shipping. And if you have a compatible motherboard and purchase a nice heatsink, it overclocks very nicely.
