Duo V1 Memory Upgrade : Recommended module at this time?
HI Everyone, In order to boost performance of my DUO v1 with respect to add-ons, I wanted to upgrade my stock 256mb memory chip to 1GB. I have read Netgears's official stance on upgrading RAM ...
If I remember correctly (from my Duo which I upgraded to 1GB), there were an issue, with memory timings.
CL2,5-3-3-7 DDR400 SODIMM from PQI was the only one which worked for me.
Actually DUO memory runs slower than 400Mhz (DUO has 333Mhz Bus), but I discovered that its pretty explict on timings.
With "high-performance" CL2-2-2-5 DDR400 Memory it didnt even boot, regardless of the fact that memory modules are definitely capable of running on more "loose" timings.
As old DDR memory modules arent actually manufactured anymore, you may run into problems finding one... :roll:
(I had to buy my PQI stick from aftermarket, and this was already 2 years ago)
