I'm wondering if it is possible, I've never opened one to see if it has spaces for more chips.

They used a module, which increased it from 128Mb to 256Mb. It wouldn't go higher.

from the top of my head (and its been a while)

its the same as upgrading the RAM on your pc from what I remember, has space for 2 RAM modules
each come in 128Mb so you cant go above 256Mb
some games would not be playable e.g.

Paper Mario
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Calibur
Pokemon Stadium 2
Resident Evil 2
Conker's Bad Fur Day
