Pro 6 Memory and CPU

I'm actually just using this for Plex to feed my roku boxes, raid 0, no redundancy, separate volumes for os and data. Everything is backed up old school with offline usb drives, because honestly, if your readynas board dies, even if you have support, you're out of luck for at least a day. Originally I was using an old dell box with a quad extreme (qx6700) cpu to do this job, not supposed to work in there, not documented, blah blah, works fine. Then I decided to buy an ultra2+ with the depressingly slow atom cpu, that went right back to the store and I bought the pro 6. Its close, but I still miss how quick movies started playing on that qx6700.

Don't get me wrong, these products are great in their stock form and the support is probably great for the people that need it but for me, 50% of the fun is taking things apart and improving them.

I found some E6700s for $65, that almost makes it a bet worth trying. Thats a real core2duo vs the pentD that netgear provides. Decisions, decisions..
