To get to the memory bank or slot under the processor, you have to pull the processor daughtercard. The connector that holds the daughtercard to the motherboard is in the lower right corner. You have to pull the daughtercard straight up so that you don't damage any of the multiple pins that the connector houses. Once removed, it's fairly easy to put the memory. Then, you have to put back the daugthercard, which is a little more daunting. Considering how the connector and all the pins seem to be fragile, you have to push quite hard to make sure the dauthercard is plugged correctly. If you are careful in aligning the daughtercard to the motherboard, you should be fine.
