Readynas Pro 2 max memory
What is max memory (ddr3) size which i can install with one slot (rndp2000)?

I think the ceiling is 2 GB per slot (Intel Atom chipset limitation).
To be more clear, the Pro-2 only has one slot. So if I'm right on the intel atom constraint, the memory is limited to 2 GB.
I don't think that it is a constraint of the chipset. Could be a limitation imposed by the firmware. This limitation might have been relaxed in OS6 - something that I have not tried yet.

There is an old post that claims it is. In any event, I did search the forums, and I can't find anyone who has gotten more than 2 GB working on the pro-2 or ultra-2. You can get more on the larger units (I have 2x4GB working on my pro-6).
Here is the spec from Intel clearly stating that the processor supports 4GB of RAM ... http://ark.intel.com/products/49490/Intel-Atom-Processor-D525-1M-Cache-1_80-GHz

It will support 2x2GB. But there's only one slot in the pro-2.
