I don't have a flat panel iMac and I have to laugh when I think about Small Dog guiding through replacing the bad RAM in my Flower Power...I was sure I'd hurt it! But that said...thermal paste? Removing the screws breaks a glued seal or something like that?
Yes. There is a heat transfer seal that is broken when you remove the
bottom. You need to put thermal grease on the contacts when you put it back
together. A lot of people ignore that step...then their machine fries.

I remember shopping for my first mac (my first home computer ever) when the pristine, snowy flat panels were just introduced. My eyes would bug out as I read all the adverts Apple is so good at putting out. It never mentioned the grease when they described the ease of opening the bottom up for upgrading the memory. Interesting fact.
