    Finally upgraded to 8gig and wow the screws were an absolute nightmare to unscrew because the silly chinese dude who built my machine screwed them in so tight it was ridiculous.

    Thanks to the above poster that type of tool worked a treat.

    i find my PH0 screwdriver head to fit in the screw hole just right :) and for me most screws weren't too tight, just the wifi card had only 1 screw and it was so tight i thought it was glued in...

    My wife is having the R2 that we just upgraded, my R3 should be here on or before the 19th December and have 8gig ready for that too just hope the the screws aren't too tight as we were worried we were damaging the screws on this one.
