Seems like a good idea and easy enough to do at home. I'm not familiar with PCBs but from what I've read the procedure for washing would be as follows:

1. Remove the PRAM battery and RAM stick from the motherboard

2. Detach the motherboard and put it in a tub or other container

3. Use 91% or better isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush to go over the areas in contact with the PCB

4. Rinse off debris from step 3 using more alcohol

5. Dry off the motherboard using a fan or heater at a safe distance

6. Once completely dry, reinstall motherboard into chassis and put PRAM and RAM stick back

Is this rundown generally correct? I assume the same procedure could also be done with the extra RAM as well without modification.
