    i'm assuming DYI means 'do it yourself' for anyone that has upgraded their i/power-books, is it as simple as the pc notebooks?? ie taking off the small back cover and inserting the memory there.

    i figure i'll save $90 by buying a 1gb stick of ram at crucial ($185) instead of paying $270 for apple to install their own.

    also, what brand of ram does apple use??

    one more thing. which brand of ram is considered the best?? crucial? corsair? kingston?

    thanks!!
