    At around 4:10 he discusses RAM, he says it's under the motherboard but never exposes them.

    But what's the point of replying to a dead thread? Everyone has known for months that accessing the other 2 RAM slots requires removing the motherboard.

    I entered the thread from a google search, anyway it's not that old, I've replied on some forums threads older than 10 years, considering that some folks may be already dead.
