- I did it and it was pretty easy. If you are moderately handy with
- electronics, I'd say gove it a try. Keep in mind though that it does
- void your warantee - if they know you did it.

- I bought my upgrade memory mail order and they included a nice set
- of step by step instructions. I'd call around and ask the various
- mai order folks if they included instructions.

- Sorry, I didn't keep them around - though I posted them a while back.
- Someone might have held on to them. Good luck!
