i saw that some guy did a CPU-swap(realy amazing!) and a Ram Upgrade to a C700(or C760?).
i thought about doing the same thing to my C1000 so here are some questions:
1.which chips it use for Ram?(i mean which company and ID)
2.does the kernel support more than 64MB ram?
3.does some one have pictures(High Resolution) of the C1K disambled?
thx

so... the ram chips are in sockets, not soldered to the board?

NOPE that's the problem. BGA stands for ball grid array. (If I understand) It's a whole bunch of little balls that are(can be) seperate from the chip and the motherboard. My understanding is that the motherboard and the chip have little divets where the ball fits in. BUT they still use solder. I think the process uses a reflow oven and it heats the solder just enough to attach to the balls/chip/motherboard and then the excess solder is washed away.

MOST of this is probably wrong...ask an expert, Im not.

So imagine very tiny things hidden way into the center of the chip. If you don't use their process, there's basically no other way to do it.

(yes people make there own reflow ovens but that's just emulating the official process)

Modifying the board after its completed is called "rework" and if I'm correct, it's gotten harder and harder and harder with each new generation of chip packaging (dip, smt, bga).

Search google for "bga rework" if you wanna know how hard this is...
