Interesting that the two units had different memory. You may have one RR4312XV1 and one V2. I know they exist because there are two configuration files in OS6, but I don't know the differences. While I have a 4312X, I've never put it in service nor have I tried to expand memory past the default. I suppose it's possible that the total number of ranks makes a difference, but that would be unusual.
Unlike the earlier 3200 and 4200 units, the newer units' motherboards are unique Netgear designs, so there is no information about them beyond what little Netgear has published.
BTW, unless you are running a lot of apps or virtual machines, you aren't likely going to see any significant change in performance with that additional memory.

You are completely right. One is a V2 running with 64GB Samsung memory (where I removed the original 16GB of Transcend/Netgear memory), the other a V1 mostly used for backup purposes. I will reconfigure it to only use the original 16GB of memory and try again. Hopefully this time nothing breaks apart.
I might try this again with my third 4312 which is currenlty only used for testing.
