Changing laptop ram cards and upgrading them....

Alrighty then...i just upgrade my ram on my laptop from 512 mb ram to 2 gb ram....very easy process than i thought...its even easier than doin it on pc i think...less wires..less hassle...
well here are the steps....
1)Get your manual for your laptop and figure out where u might find ur ram slot. If u cant find your manual. You can find it on the web.
2)You need to know which RAM you have: DDR2 or DDR1...in order to do that once you have opened your laptop you can read it on the card or go to this website : http://www.computerlaptopmemory.com/-->
3)Place your laptop on a clean table and remove battery.
4)Unscrew the part of your laptop where the ram slots are located.
5)It should look somthing like this:

6)Ok push the releasing pins outwards and you will hear a click noise. Remove the old memory card out. Throw it or sell it.
7)Remove your new ram cards. Place the first one on the bottom slot and then the other on the top slot.Make sure you hear a click sound, so that you know its locked safely..
These are my 2 new 1gb ram (each) cards.

8)Now place the cover back on laptop and screw it up. Place your battery in....and you are done.
I suggest for laptop kingston memory cards are good and so are samsung...
DISCLAIMER: THIS METHOD WORKED FOR ME...IF IT BLOWS YOUR COMPUTER DONT COME SUING MY ASS.....:p...
till my next post...take care guys.....
