RAM Upgrade on Compaq Presario 6310CA - DESKTOP
I found the RAM I need so I'm going to pick it up tonight. What I would like to know before I tackle the upgrade:
1) Are the two RAM Slots out in the open and easy to access?
2) If not, then what parts do I need to disassemble to get at the RAM. And how hard is this going to be - is it something I should just send to the repair shop?
I'm not a total newb on computers but I haven't opened this case up yet - actually have not had to upgrade RAM for years . But I like this machine (XP) and I don't want to replace it, just upgrade it.

providing nothing is blocking the slots such as a big massive cpu cooler or something installing new ram is a piece of cake. Just pull down the little clips at the side of the slots, fit in your ram (it only goes one way) and then push down and clip it in. now you are good to go

Take care
Dave
