upgrading an imac yourself?

[evanrousso]

I am considering getting an imac in the near future and I just wanted to ask if anyone knows if you can upgrade the memory on an imac yourself?

I could get it and load it up with everything I could possibly need in the next few years and spend a fortune...but I would rather save some money and just get what I need now and be able to upgrade the RAM later if I wanted.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's "really easy", I had immense difficulties with it - it appeared to be designed for tiny fingers
