I have a dead 1.0 mobo that I have been harvesting parts off of for a while now. I really want to rock a ram upgrade using the ram from the dead mobo. I have seen videos and it 'looks' simple enough...

Who has done it themselves? In all reality, how hard is it?
on a scale of 1 - 10, I would say my soldering skills are an 8 or 8.5

Thanks,

in the videos that I have seen the guy makes it look SOO easy. I tried a few pins and I can say that it is beyond my skill set to remove the chips.

I'm thinking that I want to at least try find some ram chips and solder them on myself. I tried looking on ebay, maybe I didnt look hard enough... Any suggestions?

When I have a dead mobo and I want to scavenge chips, I don't bother with the soldering iron! I just heat up the board with a heat gun, then quickly shake/tap the mobo over a container.
Now if for some reason you ONLY want to scavenge one chip, of course you won't want to do that jester.gif
