I assume he and/or she is referring to static electricity. However, I doubt his and/or her reliability.

Will apple care still cover a computer if you do this?

wrong.. ram is how many applications your computer can run at the same time.. the speed within that is the processor/hard drive rpm

Carpet? Wtf? how'd they do that?

Static braces do help, but installing new shit is easy. With any electrical equipment you always have to ground yourself so never do this shit on carpet.I've been doing it for 13 years, I've heard many people messed up their computers by attempting to do this on carpet.
