    Ok I've got a question. I opened up the back of my new GT70 - which has 3 4GB modules, 2 are in dual channel, and 1 is running in flex mode - well that doesn't work for me. So anyways, I see 2 of the slots, where are the other 2? I'm GUESSING under the keyboard, but I looked at a keyboard replacement video, and under the keyboard I saw no ram slots. I'm a bit confused. I really do not like how MSI has made it difficult to change things. I did see that the Wireless card is under the plastic panel above the keyboard - that's gotta go as well. I'm putting an Intel Ultimate N card in there for dual band mode.

    I'm pretty sure they're under the keyboard. They have black plastic flaps covering them, so you'll need to lift them up to see the RAM slots.
