So I just got a 1Gig stick for my Powerbook, and I can't wait to put it in. I ordered a KingMX 1GB DDR333 stick, and I got it from newegg.com. Just one stupid question.... Before I put it in, it has like two stickers on each side. Two are just label stickers, but one has the SN, RAM info, and a "Warranty viod if label removed." I don't think I am supposed to, but should I take these stickers, some or all of them, off the stick before I put it in. I know its stupid, but just one response is all I need. They are top of these small black "blocks" that say kti. If that helps. But please, one quick response and I can put it in! Thanks alot!

Ok, so no need to remove them? They aren't blocking anything or something like that? I didn't think so, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks, anybody else?

The label may also be an insulator so that solder or pins cannot touch anything once installed.

The labels are not meant to be removed. Otherwise, they would say "Remove label before using."
