Hello, You can always solder the SODIMM board to the slot yourself, or easier, glue it in. Similar degree of security. An attacker who seizes the machine will be able to connect to signal traces anyway with a good signal analyser. This hardware measure just makes cold ram attack harder, especially the freeze and clone variant.
Make sure to add a case opening sensor. You can make one for internal USB which can be added to many laptops. Some laptops also might have the standard 5V tampering signal pins like desktops, just unpopulated. This would take some investigation. When available, these can be read via lm-sensors and related interfaces and security measures can be taken. A system of a custom design is preferable. Xen memory wiping functionality would be very useful to attach to such a script. Additional interesting approach is a dead man USB key or using the built in camera for monitoring and alarm.
