as a former AppleCare agent, I can safely tell you that it does NOT void the warranty per se - so long as you don't damage anything in the process. (despite the title...) the article i posted states: + While Apple strongly recommends that you retain the services of an Apple Authorized Service + Provider to perform any product upgrades or expansions, you will not void your Apple warranty + if you choose to upgrade or expand your computer yourself. However, if in the course of adding + an upgrade or expansion product to your computer, you damage your Apple computer (either + through the installation of, or incompatibility of the upgrade or expansion product), Apple's + warranty will not cover the cost of repair, or future related repairs. when Apple states in some versions of the Warranty Agreement that "unauthorized changes to hardware" will void the warranty... they aren't talking about replacing hard drives, even in machines like the iBook. They're talking about modifying the existing parts - say, soldering the logic board to overclock your processor. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
