[QUOTE="Rottie, post: 1390551, member: 136859"] I found it extremely easy to seat the RAM, too. :) Mind you, I didn't follow Apple's "recommended" way of flipping the iMac over on a soft towel; I just unplugged all the cables and moved the iMac forwards on my desk, so that it was [I]almost[/I] on the edge of the desk, with the front edge of the iMac overhanging the edge of the desk, then unscrewed the RAM slot and seated the RAM that way. :) Job done in under 5 minutes. :D [/QUOTE]
