In theory - *I think*- there could be 3 reasons to choose soldered-ram engineering-wise... Size, placement, and cooling. Sizewise, soldering allows to not have annoying thick connector ports for the ram drives, and you go from 2 levels of PCBs (motherboard pcb stack with ram pcb), to one level PCB. So that's a thickness reduction.

Jan 31, 2024 · Unless you have a ball grid soldering station to de solder and re solder the ram you're going to have a tough time doing this. They also dont sell these ram chips outright, you will...
