Installing RAM the hard way

Here's one for Scott's "horror story" post. What do you do when the RAM you bought for your iMac just won't slide into place? You "hammer it in with your knuckle," of course. Andru at Gear Live bought some snazzy OCZ platinum sticks for his G5 iMac, each of which bears its own heat sink. The added bulk made installation not so easy, and nearly had Andru physically attacking his machine. In the end, though, the sticks are in and now he's cruising with 2GB of glory.

It could have been worse. Who remembers the inside of the 7100? I actually drew blood once on that machine's horrible innards.

Thanks, Edwin!
