[X4U] RAM counsel

[Brett Conlon]

Actually, ram replacement in Macs is easy, including laptops. In the  
newer models (MBPros) you just unscrew the metal plate sitting under  
the battery and they are right there. Pull the metal catches away from  
the left and right sides of the top ram (they kinda sit on top of each  
other) and the ram stick will pop up slightly, then just pull the  
stick out, kinda at the angle it is resting in. The RAM chip  
underneath is basically the same process.

If you're still unsure, a quick google search will produce plenty of  
walk-thru's of how to do it, complete with pictures.

Cheers,

Coj
