I was thinking about writing up my own tutorial on how to do it but I just haven't had enough time lately. Here is a link to how to do it. (http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Upgrading_Xbox_RAM_HOWTO)

Upgradeing Xbox RAM is NOT for NEW ppl... You Been Warned.

on a sideNote  Adding more ram to a Xbox Dones Not make games load any Faster Nore Look any better
It DOES help if you Run a OS like win98 and is does Help when Runing Videos

If your Looking for a way to Make games Alittle Faster Then Try Upgradeing your IDE
(It Does Not do Much But Does Move alittle Better)

Thanks Dr. Fweega.

zzk2001: Im just looking to upgrade my RAM to make ROMS work better =)

-edit-
Unfortunately, seems a lil too hardcore for me atm, and a little too much work for what I want.

Maybe another time.

Thanks again!

Yeah I typed in Roms run smoother in a reply but got disconnected before I could send it. Just stick to running emulators on your PC, it's a whole lot better.

Some Xbox mobo's have empty RAM footprints. They are spaces where RAM could go and are all ready setup it's just that they are missing RAM. You can infact solder '32mb SDRAM' onto each of those spots to increase your memory but your xbox startup code needs to be modified to allow your xbox to take full advantage of the extra RAM. Like zzk said you cannot use this with xbox games because they aren't programmed to take full advantage of the extra RAM. You can however use the emulators, homebrew, and Win98 much smoother.
