Yes.
You might be able to get away with some minor changes to memory
controller settings, but nothing would be guaranteed by the chipset
maker to be stable. Chipsets typically aren't designed to be
reinitialized while saving the data in RAM at the same time. The data in
RAM is indeterminate until after the memory controller is fully initialized.
