    Due to a misunderstanding in the ordering , my T60 has arrived with only 512Kb of memory.

    I want to upgrade this to 2GB's .

    I understand that the palm rest and the keyboard have to be removed in order to do this .

    I am pretty happy getting inside desktops but have never attempted any " surgery " with laptops .

    How practical an operation would this be for the ordinary DIY PC bloke ?

    Comments from those who have this experience would be a great help

    There are four screws on the bottom to remove then pop off the palm rest.

    The hardest part is probably popping the palm rest back on and it's not that difficult at all if you follow the instructions on the manual.

    On a scale of 1 to 10 .It is a 2 or lower .Did my T60 a few weeks ago .The hardest thing to do is to put the Ram in at 45 degree angle.
