Looking at the card I have handy, it's not BGA RAM, so by the wiki, it's not compatible. I don't know if the incompatibility is because the ROM can't deal with the different RAM type or it's just speed, in which case there are tools to slow down the speed the ROM tells the card to use. That's one of the questions that I can't seem to find an answer for.
