[MinnowBoard] 4GB Ram need pcb rerouting?

I think this this thread alone should tell the MinnowBoard designers there
is a market for a board where the user has more choice for RAM.

Personally, if it's possible, I would like to see some way to add a couple
of SO-DIMM's for up to 32GB.
I realize the processor might not be capable of that, but my retro PC
history has me gun shy about any system that can't at least take the full
amount of RAM that the processor takes. No matter what, it always ends up
being an issue.

Or how about some high speed SD RAM if power consumption is an issue. Maybe
2GB of SD RAM that can run as main memory, or also as a cache for an
SO-DDR3 DRAM hood that can take as much RAM as the processor could handle.

If that was available I would probably own dozens of these already.
Maybe what ever comes after the Turbot could have some kind of RAM
Expansion hood.

There's a high end product there for basically the cost of a connector.

Ideally, you could have all products use the same board, and offer a cost
reduced version that just doesn't have the RAM Expansion parts soldered to
it.
