Finally did it!!
Macky is okay!! Everything went well and it's a fairly easy process. The only thing is that you have to really apply pressure to insert the new ram. I've already noticed a difference. Thanks for all the advice and inputs guys and gals!!

Good onya Netty! Macky will love you for it!:bone:
It's not so daunting a task once you've been there. My iMac C2D is even easier than my older iMac G5 in that there is now a dedicated section underneath that gives you access only to the RAM slots. So you don't need to worry about messing up other bits. It's probably the same with your Macky.
I was surprised at the smallness of the RAM.

Congrats on the install! I told you that there was nothing to worry about
You're going to love Macky more than ever now!! I know that I loved the speed boost going from 1GB to 2GB, I couldn't begin to imagine how much of an improvement you must be seeing going from 512MB to 1GB. :black:

Cool deal, Annette. More RAM is always better.
It's ok on the Macbook, there's some metal mesh covered foam pads on the back of the metal plate, this plate covers the memory slots. I had to gently push these pads in with a screwdriver to get the cover back on.
When I removed the old RAM is was covered in white stuff, like heat transfer paste. I cleaned it all off and installed the 2GB I bought.
The slots are quite tight, takes a bit of force to get the modules in. But ensure you have the notch in the modules in the right place.
