I purchased the memory from the Chip Merchant which has been discussed recently on the net. 4 Mb of ram for $163.80 including shipping was a good deal. The cheapest I've found 4Mb of RAM in Austin is $255 (street prices). I saved $91. This leaves me with one problem however, what is the best procedure for installing them. The SIMMs were shipped with no instructions whatsoever. The Chip Merchant is *DEFINITELY* a no frills operation! The box the memory was shipped in was certainly large enough to cram some instruction in but that is another thread. While I do have hardware experience, what I would like to know is: Does anyone have a simple procedure for installing them? Are there any tricks to know? Any warnings? Do I have to pull the motherboard and if so how is it held in place? Do I have to move the memory (1MB) which is already installed to different sockets? Any software configuration?
