To do this I bought a cheap hot air workstation, some solder paste and a usb 800x microscope. Will practice first on a couple old routers I have before I attempt to upgrade both my SB5101's (will definitely post pictures if successful)
You have selected the right components. You forgot the tweezers and suction cup pen to lift the RAM. You will also need some flux, solder wick to clean the pads, High temp masking tape to put around the RAM so that other small components like resistors and capacitors don't blow away(that can create a big mess), microscope is not necessary but it's a good tool to have when you are dealing with tiny components, also useful for checking the contact between PCB and component.
