there is 2 more spots to solder ram on, but soldering those on is very detailed soldering.
So you can double your ram, but it would barley improve proformance.
If you have a couple xboxes laying around collecting dust I'd give it a shot.

good luck

Yes upgradeing you're RAM will make Emulators  Better  BUT not by much to even really see it =)

the only thing you really see as in better would be File transfer (Only from folder to folder)  and Videos load alittle faster  But still so small it's hard to even tell =)
