Re: Increasing RAM

2008-09-01 Thread Neil Houghton 
When I upgraded the RAM om my G4 Ti Powerbook (old now!) it was pretty easy.
More recently, I upgraded the RAM on my 24" Al iMac and it was made
particularly easy by a video tutorial from the OWC website.

Check out:


Which is their Installation videos page - select the "memory" tab and you
will see a list of all the models for which they have installation videos -
together with links to download various quality versions of the videos
(depending on your internet speed/quota!)

What I found particularly useful watching the video for my iMac was seeing
the point where there was a certain "firmness" required to seat the RAM -
without that demonstrated example, I may have worried that I had got it
misaligned and "chickened out"!

Hope that helps


Cheers


Neil

I think the question I am really asking is how to manipulate  
vCards.  I can go via FileMaker Pro if need be but hope there might  
be an easy way.

Typing it in is a last resort of course!
