a word of advise from a long-time mac user who's installed lots of 
things, but one who's been down the road of purgatory by screwing up 
with my ti book.

when you install that chip in the top slot of the Ti, be very gentle on 
those little plastic clips (original Ti400 books ESPECIALLY).  First 
time around i was not so gingerly and snapped one of the little 
buggers.  there is NO repair for that short of a new motherboard, read 
$900.00 and even if you have apple care, they consider it negligence 
and won't repair it under warranty.  if you're the least bit skittish, 
have the apple store or local apple auth. svc. do it.

oh, yeah, don't forget to remove the battery before installing it too!  
  here's the  link to the apple site with  quicktime movies for 
installing memory in all books:
