Default About Recent Notebook Upgrade..

Hi! I just read your artical on "Upgrading Notebook Memory" - nicely done !! However, there is one err...precaution I'd like to add to your procedure, and that is using an ANTI-STATIC STRAP !

I know I know.."REAL" techies doe KNEE no stinkin anti-static strap, right ? Wrong! I've been doing electronics/computers/UNameIt stuff or over two-decades, and I've seen the harm done when a simple "static-strap" is not used. Of course, if you are very careful, you can always "ground yourself out" but personally I'm not willing to risk blowing an expensive SO-DIMM module out when I could just go down to "Radio Shack" (or similar) and pick-up a decent strap for a few dollars.

Best of all, I can reuse it !!

Talking Wow, what a detailed tutorial!

There's really not a whole lot I can add to that because he covered it all but for the record, I'm running 8GB in a T61p (it can be done, and it's not even hard). I took photos when I did the upgrade and put them here - http://www.rbgrn.net/content/42-how-...0p-t61-or-t61p
