Old Pro vs New Pro?
Is there a reference somewhere that explains the differences between what people refer to as the old pro and new pro are?     I'm extra curious about which intel chipset is in the new pro?

Not many people have  sought to upgrade the CPU on the Pro 6 yet. There's a long running thread with examples of what's been done with the first gen Pro though (http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=29284)
As it's something that NetGear doesn't support they're not going to encourage users to do such an upgrade, though for various reasons they do test CPUs themselves from time to time. Upgrading the CPU is a dangerous procedure. It's easy to damage the NAS hardware installing a replacement CPU incorrectly or by using one that gets too hot too quickly.
