[QUOTE="GSMarquis, post: 9074"] I orderd the 1ghz the way it came from factory and added the 512 ddr chip myself. It took all of 15 mins max. The apple 512mg chip cost 200.00 the one i got from crucial (which had same chip manufac. at the time) cost 79.00. All you have to do is remove old paste from the metal terminals in a few locations and then apply new paste. Only us a very small dab because it will seep from edges onto the mother board. Dont be scared at all, all you need is a philips screw driver, a torx #15, and paste available from any computer store. Do yourself a favor and save over a hundred buks.....put it toward a isight, airport setup, or a new mouse that doesnt suk with only one button. [/QUOTE]
