maiby someone know some trick to replace ram chip from main board width more than 512
thanks for help

NO idea how you'd replace RAM chip, you'd need the correct equipment presumably, and risk bricking the device if the soldering not done properly ... Google is your friend here, unless some brave soul here already done this !

ALSO, are you sure that RAM is completely exhausted ? You know Debian caches "stuff" in "free" memory, so looking at top can be misleading ... As I understand it - "free -m" indicates how much is cached (and total and used), and by simple subtraction you can work out what's REALLY being used.

MySQL is notoriously memory hungry, so could you either uninstall it, or tune the my.cnf to use less memory ?

How about postgresql instead of mysql? Probably nothing more than a minor tweak, but switching to postgresql saved me a bit of RAM space.
