    Mac Mini VRAM resoldering?

    Is it THEORETICALLY possible to desolder the 32mb memory in the Mac Mini, and resolder a 64mb or 128mb pin-compatible VRAM chip in its place?

    Would the firmware have to be updated?

    Thanks in advance

    The firmware would probably take a massive amount of editting to be able to use it. Your better off posting this in like a mac forums or something. As far as soldering a new one in there, I think that is possible.
