[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1607313, member: 56379"] 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" $$$$!;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
