    I have never owned a Dell notebook before, so I was wondering how simple will it be to replace the RAM modules in the 1330. I was looking at these 2 images and it seems the entire panel needs to be removed to gain access to the RAM modules. Will this be difficult to do? Will it void the warranty if it is opened?

    1.) Just the bigger one.
    2.) It's quite easy. Take your time and be patient, you have to get the RAM in carefully.
    3.) No, new memory will not void your warranty, but Dell will not provide support for the new memory. (obviously)

    Thanks for the responses. I can't wait for it to arrive and upgrade the RAM.
