iMac RAM upgrade and warranty

[ursus]

Hello,

First time poster, first time Mac user (as of May 2008).

I have a 2.8 GHz iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM. I'd like to upgrade to 4GB (probably from Crucial, unless anyone has complaints about theim, or alternative recommendations.)

My question is: if upgrading my RAM will in any way effect my warranty?

Thanks,

No, RAM is considered user serviceable so changing it out will not affect the warrenty

I have seen several times that "it is easy to add more RAM" to the iMAC. Is there a video available or written instructions for this. I would hate to start and get all screwed up and ruin my new iMAC. Any help??

RAM and where to get it

Hey,
Anyone know where to get original Samsung RAM (chips and DIMM, not just chips)? Any other company people like? I've heard that Crucial is good too.

Any help would be great. Thanks,

How much do they usually pay? I might also upgrade my 3.06 to 4 GB

Thanks for the link to video. BTW what was the issue with removing the old RAM? It looks like they only pulled at the tab rather than at the end they seemed to push down and the RAM just came out then. What is your opinion? I am completely frightened to take a brand new product and start altering it myself altho the $ savings should drive me to do it.
