Ram install
I have two laptops that I would like to increase the ram on.
The ram itself is cheap. From everything I have read the install is very easy. However, I'd rather not do it myself.
All the places I see charge an insane amount for a job that shouldn't take that long at all (according to what I am reading).
Is there any place that charges a reasonable rate?

question 1 - do you already have the ram
question 2 - are you going to be near Rhode Island?

Greg , I've done it before on a PC not a laptop but I'm somewhat mechanically inclined and can do it for you.

Laptops can be a little bit more frighting, but yes its simple, and there is a small methodology to taking the ram out and putting it in. but again that is simple as well. i suggested he watch a YouTube Video. or if hes in RI he can swing by my house and i would put it in for him. Hell i could prob walk him step by step VIA the phone. or you Andy, seeing as how you have PC experience. Let me know and we can set something up. |

Hey Greg - what kind of computer / model / memory and how much do you have? I may have what you need 
Laptops also have various ways to install, most easy, on a rare occasion somewhat of a pain |

Specs say single slot so 2 gig it is |
