17:09:10 <RavFX[m]> You need more ram
17:21:55 <msvb-lab> RavFX: It is an old travel computer, not in daily use.
17:22:38 <msvb-lab> For this reason, I've thought of desoldering the ram and trying to upgrade the (insane) hard way. It's BGA probably over a hundred contacts.
17:32:50 <RavFX[m]> <msvb-lab> "For this reason, I've thought of..." <- Oh, that kind. Have fun!
17:32:50 <RavFX[m]> If you know how, and have the proper tools, it's relatively easy.
17:32:50 <RavFX[m]> So I assume the SPD location is in you're bios instead of on the ram. You might need to patch that too.
18:08:22 <msvb-lab> Oh RavFX yes that sounds really easy, ha. So I have the proper tools and experience to desolder BGA, just no XRay but probably not needed.
18:09:07 <msvb-lab> I'm going to abandon the idea, because I didn't even think about SPD. I'm not going to spend a half year on this.
20:55:08 <ceetee[m]> lpddr4 is easy to work desolder, reball and solder because the pin pitch is large
