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 ...
Well it is certainly more than a week later, but tonight I finally got around to trying out the 512 MB memory module from the old Toshiba laptop in my Duo v1.
Ran the memory test twice, passed both times (although so did the corsair which did not work), and booted up the duo with the 512 MB simm. Unlike with the Corsair this one booted up fine and so far so good. The duo reports seeing the memory and so far everything is running fine. I'll let you know if I have any issues
One question though: I though I probably should do a timing test. Not because I expect faster performance on file access, since I already know from other posts that is unlikely. What I would like to confirm however is that my file transfer speed has not gotten slower. Although I have doubled the ram, I do not know for sure how this ram performs compared to the factory installed ram.
Any recommendations on testing file transfer rate?
I can run a test with the new simm and then put in the old simm and test that and compare the results.
