Can I update my RAM without invalidating my warranty?

[Sufff]

Hi
I have recently bought my VAIO laptop (about 3 weeks old)
I am wondering if anybody knows wether i can get the RAM updated without invalidating my warranty. I have bought the laptop on finance.
I was hoping someone knew if i could get it updated via some Sony Centre.

ThanksCan i update my RAM without invalidating my warranty?

Hi

If you follow the instructions in the manual you won't void the warranty, they even encourage you to do it.

Why do they encourage you to do it?

Better performance.

If they didn't want you to do it it wouldn't be in the manual.

Same here for the RA104

Yeah Euganpang i have seen the RAM price on Crucial UK Website. The RAM is cheaper (about half price or less than VAIO) and faster aswell as it runs at 522Mhz rather than 400 Mhz. This shouldn't be a problem though for the VAIO should it?
I noticed that Sony say using other memory can damage your VAIO but i guess that is just a way of them warning us to make sure we get compatible RAM (nice way to get their customers to buy their RAM aswell)

By the way thanks to everyone who has posted.
