More memory for Apollo!

yayyyy my newegg.com order finally came today.. a 2GB PC2-5300 laptop memory stick! i got excited and installed it right away. i was nervous because it’s the first time i ever opened Apollo up, even though I have opened many other laptops prior to this. hm, that sounds wrong.

(for anyone who doesn’t know, Apollo is my white Sony VAIO CR laptop)

turns out it was super easy. i just opened the base of my laptop, located the memory slots right away and popped one of the sticks out. i did have a bit of a trouble popping the new memory stick in. i didn’t read the manual because, as i mentioned, i was very excited. i booted up the laptop and noticed that i only had 512mb (vista runs extremely slow on 512mb by the way) which means the 2GB stick was not properly installed. so i opened Apollo up again, read the manual and installed it correctly this time. turns out i had to insert the memory at an angle and then push it back until it snaps in with a “click” sound. then i booted up the laptop for the second time, and it worked wonderfully without any more trouble. my baby detected the new memory right away :D

currently have 2.5GB cause i’m greedy and didn’t wanna take out the other 512mb stick i already have in there :) the difference is crazy! Apollo boots up in under a minute now :D :D i love my baby even more :D

anyway.. here’s some random pics i forgot to upload from a couple weeks back
