I doubt the average user could even afford the tools to do it right, among other difficulties:

*The cost of the right tools to use are in the thousands (i.e $5,000est)
*You could possibly blind yourself
*Destroy the PPC (very, very small movements is all it takes)
*Plus, due to the nature of the chip you would need to know how to reconfigure the software afterwards.

For all of that, buying a PPC with 128MB RAM would be cheaper & uhh safer.
