[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1951055, member: 175845"] Any solid, firm, flat, and well-supported surface would be more than adequate and use a soft preferably cotton, [B]NOT [/B]synthetic material that's a good cotton only towel would be more than adequate and make sure there is nothing other than the towel between the Surface and the display screen. Do not shuffle around on any carpet wearing shoes with insulated soles before you work on the Mac. Wearing a cheap anti-static strap is certainly not a bad idea when working with RAM on any computer. They contain a built-in resistor to save you receiving any sort of shock and static can supply a good four thousand volts or more which can certainly make your elbows jump. 😊 When inserting the RAM chip, make sure it is firmly seated in the RAM holder. Giving a blast of Dust Off type compressed air, inches and around the RAM slot area before disturbing anything is not a bad idea. 😊 PS: EDIT: As red Dave mentioned above, what Mac do you have and what applications are you using and what processes might you be needing in order that you actually need 64 GB of RAM. That's one heck of a lot of RAM. Just saying... 😊 🥳 - Patrick ======= Correct grammar error, i.e. "not synthetic". [/QUOTE]
