[ale] [OT] Installing RAM in a Compaq Armada 1700

[Jonathan Glass]

Under the keyboard.  Remove the battery and floppy, and find the screws with 
arrows pointing to them, and the center screw b/w the battery and floppy bays.  
Take them out, flip over the machine, remove the keyboard, and the RAM is right 
there.  I think (no research, working from memory) that those machines can 
handle either an additional 128 or 256.  

The HDD should be in the same place (on the right side of the chassis, the RAM 
is on the left).
