After all the additional hardware (DSP, 3D chip, cameras) eats some RAM too so 128 may be really tight on OMAP3

I did a search on that Samsung part number and found this:

This document was last updated on November 2008, and mysteriously there is a part with "2G" as 4th and 5th digit marked as red. Does red mean that it is a brand new part that was just added? Either way, this is just to show that there is 256MB RAM chip available (or available soon?) in the same package. If so then RX-51 should work with either 128MB or 256MB or RAM without any change in motherboard, just a change in RAM chip. (Maybe this happened with the Pandora case too, when the 256MB chips became available they just announced the memory upgrade...)
