Change is the 'wings' you give yourself.
G'day Kelly. 1. The memory slots are at the centre bottom of the iMac, behind what looks like a ventilation grid. You have to remove the Phillips head screws to remove the cover. Buy and insert a 2 GB module, along with one of your existing 512 MB modules. Try watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD2yMTzh3gk&feature=player_embedded#! 2. I would backup your existing system before upgrading to Snow Leopard. Occasionally upgrades fail, and you'll lose everything because the only way to recover is to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install. Go straight to Snow Leopard, not Leopard. Purchase Snow Leopard in boxed format from the previous link I sent. 3. Once Snow Leopard is installed, you might want to update to Lion. I find Lion very nice to use, but still with a few bugs. Update 10.7.3 when it comes out should nail down most of the remaining small bugs. Lion is upgraded to over the internet from apple. http://www.apple.com/support/lion/installrecovery/ When you install Snow Leopard and update it to 10.6.8, an App Store is installed in your Dock. This is used to purchase and update to Lion via the internet. You really need a fairly fast internet link for this, as it's about a 1 GB download.
