- As long as you have the proper tools, it isn't difficult. However, the way the
- plastics go together isn't necessarily intuitive.
-
- I had no problem, but I have years of experience taking things apart and
- putting them back together. If you are uneasy about this, you may be better
- off springing $50 for a dealer or finding a more confident friend to do the
- upgrade for you.

- The 2MB upgrade was pretty easy. I've heard that the 6MB cards are a bit more
- difficult.
