while they can be tricky for the less technicaly minded i would
recommend these
chipquick for the desoldering (WARNING: can be really messy)
http://www.dannell.co.uk/chipquik.htm

and for soldering smt
http://www.seattlerobotics.org/encoder/200006/oven_art.htm

While these can make it easier, i would definitly recommend that you
get someone with the right equipment if you arent an expert.

also, can someone point me to a link for the memory modules? Im not
quite sure what the are, but they sound interesting.
