Useless tutorial considering there are 100's of others on how to install RAM, but I rated it 5/5 anyways. ;)

[JeffBT]

Thanks. :) It's not something I normally would have done if not asked specifically.

lol Jeff the torture of trying to film inside a case eh? Never works.. I have tried so many times with many cams..NEVER works.lol But luckily you mentioned the only thing some one REALLY has to understand. You have to PUSH on the ram, and bring the clips up at the same time. Or it wont lock.

[JeffBT]

Haha, yeah. That's why I mentioned it. Just in case it didn't make it in the video (which I had a feeling it didn't).

Installing ram is simple, you cant really screw it up, just know exactly what type of ram you need.

@Krazed2Kraze Thanks, i'm going to be building my PC in a few weeks, and i never realized that, and my case is metal, so that should do :)

[Krazed2Kraze]

@speedninja83 Grounding means getting rid of any built up static electricity, the same stuff that zaps you on kid's playground slides. Computers are extremely fragile though, so the zap can be so small that you don't have to even feel or see it for it to do permanent damage.

Grabbing something metal works, preferably the computers case (if it's metal) or power supply. I believe it's also better to not stand on carpet while working with a computers insides. Anti-static wristbands are overkill IMO

[speedninja83]

Ground, what the fuck does this mean? How the fuck do you 'Ground ' yourself?? just grab something metal? O.o
