MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory / successfully upgrading …

MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory:
mine is a "MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009)"

Update 2011-08-03

The compatibility list said, I should add PC3 -8500 DDR3 1066 MHz type RAM, but that wasn't available at my Saturn Berlin Europa-Center, so instead I installed "2*4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3" (cost me EUR 100, not like EUR 140 as at Gravis), and that boots nice and still works very nice.

My "About This Mac > Memory" now says:

Your Mac contains 2 memory slots, each of which accepts a 1333 MHz DDR3 memory module.

Funny, isn't it?!!

Now I run VirtualBox with WinXP inside, and I still feel like walking on air, not like on stones.
