Hey I have a brand new ibook G4 1.42 GHz with 512 MB of RAM. I need to add more RAM. does it just consist of taking off the keyboard then taking out the airport card and then the RAM slots will be right there? Or how do you do it?

My current one is growing less and less able to eject disks. I use my ibook at work for just about everything (I do everything from office work to tech support) and require the ability to burn discs on the go for a few tasks.

I figure as long as I'm replacing the combo drive, I may as well upgrade it to the superdrive. (and a bigger hard drive and upping the RAM while I'm tearing the machine apart)

That site is like my homepage! Well not really but it does come in handy when tyring to tear apart your ibook and just don't know how. I'v installed RAM now once so I pretty much know how to do it like a pro. :-)
