    So my 2GB RAM kit is slated to arrive tomorrow, and I got to thinking how I install it. Open up the bottom, sure. So I look at the bottom, locate where I need to unscrew, but low and behold, the screw driver indentations are tiny compared to any screw driver I own. Now I feel kind of stuck. Does the kit come with a cheapee tiny screw driver to open the thing up, or do I need to track down a tiny screw driver from some where? This is really a bit ridiculous that I have to worry about this, but whatever. Any idea?

    I'm going to say that a screwdriver does not come with the kit. I haven't ordered RAM in a while, but I never got a screwdriver with it.

    That being said, it shouldn't be hard to track down a tiny screwdriver. My brother wears glasses, so he had one as part of his glasses kit. I just got a gift for Chirstmas that had nail clippers, tweezers, etc and that came with one of those screwdrivers. If you have a big box electronics store around, they should have a computer repair kit or something that has them. You could probably even find one at a CVS, Walgreens or Target.

    I don't know where you live, but finding the screwdriver shouldn't be harder than upgrading the RAM with it. ;)
