I'm very interested in outcome of that - especially, that if HtheB really have access to required $$$ tools, it would be possible to change N900's OneNAND to one containing 1GB RAM (quite hard to get exactly same type with more RAM, but still possible)
We all know what it means, and where harmattan can hide, then

Changing /any/ SMD chip has already been discussed since N900 days, especially the eMMC and SoC.
tl;dr version of every single discussion on this already:
It's possible, but incredibly impractical to do so unless
a) You can obtain a single part for cheaps, and
b) You have access to $$$$$$ tools to properly do the swap.
You'd probably have to be a very bored EE to do this instead of buy something else.

On N900 but I think it is the same on N9/N950 too, ram chip is a PoP chip, so it is soldered on top of cpu like a sandwich.
OneNand (on N900) is in the same chip which contains ram.

I just googled it seems a lot of andriod users are doing it.What I need is the correct chip, I'm thinking buying a second hand black 64G N9 for the safest chip.
And I'm wondering if I can find expert to do the N950 resemble as it's much more complicated than N9, and of course swapping the chip.

I'm taking this risk for all N950 users out there....

do it for n900's RAM (for 1GB) as first priority, and You will reach Maemo Community's valhalla, in one big step.
