It has 8 chips in total, 4 on each side.
I second this, works great for me too in my Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 2. Picked it up for about 16 USD, which wasn't much money in swedish currency at least.
Running 2 weeks now and all 3 initial memory tests came back without errors. 3 hours, 8h, 3h.
3 benefits that I have noticed, in my case which may NOT apply to anyone else, are:
1. Overall performance when I log in as admin and start to check settings have increased. It wasn't bad before, but more loading times occured with 1GB than with 2GB.
2. Performance when entering/browsing large folders via the CIFS protocol, ie in my case, folders with 550+ subfolders and/or files have definitely increased.
3. ReadyDNLA/Skifta have both increased performance (since they are closely paired perhaps?) This shows in my PS3 and my Android phone whenever I enter a folder for streaming movies/music.
I can't show you numbers on this though.
Addons enabled are Netgear Remote and Skifta, no others have been tested but I suppose the more addons enabled, the more RAM is used as mentioned earlier by others.
Copy speed have NOT increased however, it shoves around between 90-110mb/s from the NAS and 27-32Mb/s to the NAS which is sufficient for me.
Jumbo frames didn't work before my RAM upgrade and I doubt that will change after this. All critera are met according to various sources but it won't work for me. If I have the time I will tinker with this.
