528x ram/memory upgrades
I am looking to upgrade the ram in my 528x, currently with the stock 4g. Has anyone upgraded theirs yet? Is there a list of compatible ram or details/specifics somewhere? also considering upgrade ...

The 600 series can use a higher speed RAM than the 500 series
RN526X/RN528X: 4 memory slots (Max: 64GB), support up to DDR4-1866
RN626X/RN628X: 4 memory slots (Max: 64GB), support up to DDR4-2133We don’t support upgrading the RAM. You do so at your own risk. Be sure to run the memory test after replacing the RAM.

Thanks for the reply!
does either 528x or 628x come with, and/or support ECC ram?

Yes they come with ECC RAM and that’s what you should use if you do decide to replace the RAM.

Very strange, I spent a few minutes googling and keep seeing something like this example:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820326400
This shows both ddr4 *and* ddr3 ?!?!
16GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM ECC Registered DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)
I can't seem to find anything that has ddr4-1866 / PC4-14900

for other's future reference, I found some additional info on my specific device:

I googled the part # TS512MLH72V1H and got https://us.transcend-info.com/Embedded/Products/No-688
which handily shows the specs and part #'s for other sizes too
Now, trying to find those in stock somewhere for a reasonable price..
