Desoldering PC3200 RAM
Hi, I bought 1GB PC3200 RAM, unfortunately it's double sided and won't work in an old DELL. I've got a hot air station... if I remove the chips on the back, does anyone know if it would work as 512MB RAM?

Re: Desoldering PC3200 RAM
In theory yes, but I'm guessing the pin spacing on the chips will have 40-pitch or better. Working with them may be a challenge. You'll also have much better luck working with them if you can find a datasheet for the specific chips on the board.
