Yes...installing ram is pretty easy...as long stuff below doesn't occur:
- stripping the screw heads when removing the bottom cover
- stripping the screw holes when the bottom cover is replaced from over-torquing
- zapping the computer with static electricity if you don't properly ground yourself first
- dropping the ram on the floor while installing...and rendering it "broke"
- dropping a screw accidentally into the computer (and not noticing)...then powering up the computer & frying it
- breaking the ram retaining tabs
- etc. etc.
All of this can & does happen...and we have the threads to prove it!
And if $200 to you is not much...great for your "fat wallet"!
