Upgrading RAM on a First Generation MacBook Air

In this video, I perform a RAM upgrade on a first generation MacBook Air, upgrading its original 2GB of RAM to 4GB. This is a very worthwhile upgrade in the case of this machine, as Apple never produced any of these machines with more than 2GB of RAM. In order to perform this upgrade, I used two 2GB SO-DIMM modules of the correct specification, which is a cheap and readily-available source of RAM chips, and provides the correct SPD information to allow the machine to detect the newly-installed memory.
