Replacing RAM in a computer is a simple process, which most people can do in a couple of minutes with little to no prior experience. The first step in the process is to make sure that the unit is completely powered off and unplugged. Let the casing cool down for at least 10 minutes. Release the side of the case to gain access to the internal components using the latch on the backside of the unit.
Remove the air deflector and the fan assembly, and then locate the memory module on the circuit board of the desktop. Push the ejector pins on the RAM module. This should release the memory chips so they can be removed safely. Take the new memory chips and click them into place in the module, making sure to line up the notch on the DIMM and the gap on the RAM module to enable functioning of the memory.
Important: The RAM must be installed in pairs, one chip in the top slot and one in the bottom of the module.

I'm trying to install Virtual PC on my G5 powermac running Leopard, but the capture disk doesn't show. I've contacted Microsoft and they said that they cannot help as the last supported version of VPC 7 is when it is installed on Tiger. I then tried to downgrade to Tiger but when I insert the installation disk that is for my G5 I get a prohibitive sign and it won't let me go any further.
Has anyone got any suggestions on what I can do. I just want my Mac to be able to run VPC 7 so that I can run some essential (for my work)PC software.
Thanks
Sandra
