Pro 6 Memory and CPU
I'll get around to running the tests eventually but so far so good using some random 2gb PC2-6400 CL6 dimms I bought on ebay awhile back for less than $50. Its fairly common memory you don't need to s...
Ok ok, I'm voiding the warranty and WILL be denied support, repair and a good nights sleep for disregarding all this good advice. I'm shortening the life of the capacitors with the additional heat and may need to replace them in the future. Heres my disclaimer, if you can't solder, please don't read this thread or try this, its not for you. :roll:
Heres what I've got to share so far..
RNDP6000-200NAS contains:
2 memory slots which will accept standard PC2-6400 CL6 DIMMS, I used 2x2GB, someone on this forum claims 2x4GB will work but I can't confirm that myself. They're tight slots, avoid ram with big unnecessary fancy heatsinks or it might not fit.
An E5300 2.6 CPU (seems like a pentium D, not a core2duo like some sites selling the pro 6 claim)
Intel makes an E5800 3.2 cpu which supports virtualization and has the same tdp (65) and draw (98.89). Just a higher multiplier and clock rate. So it should work if its in the bios table. They're $50 on ebay. Seems like a safe bet.
Elsewhere I've read of success (and failure?) with an E6700 chip, but those are closer to $125 and a less secure bet. I'll be back.............
