Newbie question:Will the installation of additional ram by myself void the warranty?

[GLADmaster]

Hi all,
I am new here. I am going to buy a IBook or maybe a Pbook soon. I would buy some additional ram for it, but not from Apple as many threads here say.
But I have such concerns: Can I intall the ram by myself or have to have it installed by someone authorized? Will the installation of the new ram affect the warranty of the computer? I know, in most cases, you are not allowed to open the case to install new hardwares, otherwise the warranty is void. But there are many thread encouraging people buy additional rams from somewhere else, say from Crucial. Thanks for your help in advance.

RAM is a user installable part. Unless you break something, you will be fine. No voided warranty.

No it will not void any warranty. Its very easy to do actually, just a simple panel on the bottom of the computer. (or under the keyboard, not sure if they still do that.)

yea like they said adding more ram is a user installable part and should not void the warenty. Now replacing the cpu might but thats not what u asked
