Free online chat with Mac Genius or any Mac Support Team

I just want to have an option to have a free online chat with any Mac Genius about technical issues.

My current issue:

I want to know how much it will cost to add 4 Gb of DDR-3 to MacBook Pro 13'
How long will it take and all the other corresponding things.
I don't want an appointment. I don't want any other useless steps etc.

13" MBP unibody 2.26 Ghz, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

No such program exists, you would need to call the Apple Store you want to use for this and ask, then if the price is right make a Genius Bar appointment and take it in.

Buying RAM from an Apple Store I can tell you it will be expensive and given the time of year you are probably looking at 3 - 4 days at best.

You would be far better off buying your own from a 3rd party vendor and installing it yourself. I get mine from here: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=MacBook%20Pro%202.53GHz%20Inte l%20Core%202%20Duo%20%2813-inch%20DDR3%29%20MB991LL/A%20Mid-2009

Others have used Kingston, bought it from OWC, etc.
