Here is an example of a video showing how to install memory (RAM) into G4 AGP ‘Sawtooth’ and ‘Gigabit Ethernet’ Macintoshes:

Click on the PLAY button to watch the movie.

Here’s a list of computers which have videos for installing memory (linked to the medium resolution videos):

Here’s an example of a video showing how to install a Parallel ATA hard drive into G4 AGP ‘Sawtooth’ & ‘Gigabit Ethernet’ Macintoshes:

Click on the PLAY button to watch the movie.

OWC offers each video in various different resolutions (High Quality, Medium Quality, Low Quality, and Modem Quality). Depending on your bandwidth restrictions, I would suggest the highest quality video, since the video is easier to view. The video above links to the medium quality video.

The only drawback to using video to explain how to install hardware is that if you only have one computer, you cannot watch the video while you are installing the hardware. I typically watch the video from my PowerBook G4 while doing the hardware installation on another computer. Using the video pause button, allows you to stop the video, while you complete the step just explained to you.
