ReadyNAS Duo v1 - Kingston 1GB PC2700 CL2.5 confirmed working
As a plan B for the Samsung 1GB memory SO-DIMM I bought on Ebay (from Hong Kong), I also ordered a pair of 1GB Kingston PC2700 SO-DIMMs (from Hong Kong as well). Total price of just under $9. They...

The Kingston SO-DIMM has been running flawlessly for over two weeks now.
I will conclude that they work just fine.

What performance improvement are you seeing?

Main benefit is that the (legacy) Logitech Media Server runs well now.
Previously, it ran into trouble scanning the media files (probably due to the number of items), and sometimes stopped working at all with my Logitech devices. Perhaps an in-memory database size issue?
NFS and SMB is as could be expected.
Streaming is more or less the same, but then again it was fine to being with.
I have therefore done no speed tests, so I can't really detect any improvement there.
(Audio is mostly mp3 <256 Kb/s, and video is MPEG2 or AVC <6 Mb/s TS bitrates.)
All-in-all: stil covers the house-hold's regular needs.
And still below 50% capacity used...

Pure streaming doesn't tax a NAS (even the older sparc ones) - even 4K is at most 12-13 MB/sec. You might see some uplift in SMB/NFS speeds, but I'm thinking the whole point of this was to get LMS to work well.
Sounds like a successful upgrade - Thx for following up.
