I'm sure you can do it. It is not that complicated.

RIMM is a weird socket, it might be a good idea to get rid of it certainly. However, cutting on the cost is also important. There is a huge Compaq warehouse here and they have some old memory chips. I might be going there in any case in a couple of days and might be I can find RIMM one or two 512 Mb chips for your board. They would come at really low price about $60-80 per 168-pin 512Mb chip and its a good idea to have 2 certainly for total of 1Gb. And it is almost certain that it is not a good idea to have one 128Mb and another 512Mb chip. They are supposed to work better in pair. IMHO, changing motherboard, CPU, and memory is not worth the trouble.
