So the unthinkable has been made possible! We actually have a guy in the community who goes by the name of tsowell who has worked out all of the kinks with adding double memory such as is possible with other similar systems like the original Xbox. The great part about this mod is it is VERY cheap to perform if you have the skills and parts are only a few dollars, for the memory and a bios chip. No cannibalizing of an expensive Naomi Arcade system! The modder said that it cost him 12.66 USD for two IS42S32800J-6TLs. Bios is seperate.
The short and sweet of it is that you have to add all new memory chips, 2, 16mb modulals.
You replace these old chips with the new ones below.
Overall this seems to be a straightforward mod. I hope people offer an upgrade service for this mod!
You can find complete instructions here!

Dreamcast 32MB RAM upgrade
This article describes how to upgrade a Dreamcast from 16MB to 32MB of system SDRAM. I have done this exactly once, so this is still rather experimental. Please only attempt this with a spare Dreamcast you don’t mind destroying.
