Not sure what "memory patch" is referring to.  Do you mean enable 64 instead of 32 megs of memory?

Also, I would strongly recommend that you read the SimpleGuideToCompiling wiki page.

The Basics:

Applying patches to rockbox means:
- installing a compiler environment (on windows you can use cygwin or VMWare, I would recommend VMWare)
- downloading the source coude and the patch
- applying the patch (which is a text file containing the changes to the source) with a patch program
- compiling the patched source (I would recommend to compile a Simulator build first to make sure the build is working)

You can find guides to every step in the Wiki, SimpleGuideToCompiling is a good start, WorkingWithPatches and UsingCVS and VMWareDevelopmentPlatform are a good read, too.

And no, there is no easier way.

Look through the threads in the unofficial builds forum. One of those builds may have this patch installed.
