I'm happy though that I managed to do it myself and not have to get my son-in-law to do it, he's the tech. I found out the same thing installing mine.
If the laptop RAM was any tighter in the slots you would need a hammer to install.   | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Hopalong/ Godzilla

If the laptop RAM was any tighter in the slots you would need a hammer to install. That's true Mike, thing is it was easy after I made sure it was pushed right up at the top.

Well done!! Thanks, although I don't think the two have that much in common, apart from being nimble with my fingers.
I'll agree with what someone said that I would feel very proud of doing it, mind I think it's probably the easiest upgrade you can do so that's OK. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
