Thanks Marc. I was hoping it wasn't BGA, but these guys have re-chipped 
non-DIY things for me before:
http://www.retronix.com/

It'll probably cost a non-trivial fraction of a new AC100 (they are 
cheap even by netbook standards nowdays), but it'll be worth it if it 
leads to an ARM laptop with oodles of RAM. :)

I just have to figure out what chips are going to be compatible (need 
to find a Micron product list) and then find out what DIMMs have them on 
(I'm crossing my fingers that crucial.com support guys may be able to 
tell me that).
