the bracket is for the hard drive. cant speak from experience on it as i do not have one installed. but for sure the ram is very easy to install and extremely nice to have.

yeah cool, i thought as much...

the next bit is: how?


how do i do it?
i figure the ram slot's under the little hatch on the back, no probs there.

but the bracket, the harddrive, where do these go, how do they go in?

thanks nicole, much appreciated.

but, as i said before, the RAM install is
no probs. I'm just not sure about the harddrive
and the bracket, whereabouts they need to
slot in. and i don't wanna pay some sucka
to do work that, according to most, the user
can safely perform. my warranty's already
void so...

if anyone has any vids/pics etc on how to
do this, that'd be well wicked.

cheers :)

to install the hd you unscrew 4 screws on the front of the machine.
slide the hd into the bracket
slide the bracket into the machine
thats it.
there are instructions with the bracket.
the ram is exactly like installing laptop memory. slide it in, press it down so it snaps in.
