    Okay, so I am planning to upgrade the ram on my inspiron 1501 from 512mb to 2 gb. I went on crucial and it did its scan thingy and I think I can get a pretty good deal on 2 sticks of ram.

    But I don't have the slightest idea where the ram slots are located or how to take the notebook apart!

    Note: My warranty has already expired.
