Don't be scared pushing the RAM in too hard, that's just the way it fits so that it doesn't fall out.

Laptop ram is really easy to install, just remember the ram slots are angled, you slot it in diagonally then push it down

Depends on what model.

To install RAM into most laptops, then yes, unscrew base, slot in new stuff... BUT, if you have a Toshiba, then it's under the keyboard. Just as easy, but different place....

On this sort of note, how picky/compatible are laptops when it comes to RAM on recent laptops? Is it a fairly generic component, like on desktops?

I just had to install an extra 256mb on three brand new toshibas at work, and all i had to do was unscrew the plate on the bottom. slot the ram in diagonnaly and push down, easy as.

Just for the record, my asus was easy .. backplate.
Mixing the stock standard samsung ram (it appears) with the kingston I put in hasnt been an issue, which is great.
