looking forward into the old days

Freeman has been getting a little more sluggish ever since I installed Kaspersky. I'm thinking after two years of service it might be time for a RAM upgrade. The price seems to be right - $40 for a gig? Actually putting this into action is a different story. I opened up the little panels on the bottom and have no idea how one goes about swapping laptop RAM. The one stick I could see appears to be wedged into place, I have no idea how they got it in there in the first place, and apparently another stick lies even deeper within the electronic bowels and requires a large portion of the main case cover to be removed. I miss having a desktop sometimes.

Jon- let me know if you figure it out- I was thinking about doing the same thing but was a little intimidated.

I don't even know if I'm supposed to be looking at 172-pin RAM or 200-pin RAM. We've both done years of technical work on computers. Why is it this hard?
