Unless your bar for "geek" is so low as to exclude people of questionable reading skills, then yes it's not unusual to find non-geeks that have enough interest in computers that they can swap out a HDD, RAM, or an expansion card. This is especially true of younger people that aren't afraid of computers, that still aren't especially well-educated in the inner-workings of computers. It's not like the people in assembly lines that assemble PCs for OEMs are geeks.
More than that, people are quite willing to have their cousin that is "a computer genius" "upgrade" their computer for them.
