Wow, that is good. Can you share what memory stick you have used?

I have upgraded the memory in a Pro6 and an older Pro BE (also with upgraded CPU) using GSkill and OCZ Platinum PC2-8500 DDR2 RAM.  Both have the following specs:

• DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
• Timing 5-5-5-15
• Cas Latency 5
• Voltage 2.0V - 2.1V

They also have nice heat spreaders that still fit in the Pro.

Beware anything with lower specified voltages.  It might work, but probably not at the rated speed.  If you have a REALLY old Pro BE or Pioneer with the older motherboard, I can't say.if these will work.  Download all logs and look in bios_ver.log.  If is says 07/26/2010 FLAME6-MB V2.0, then it's the latest motherboard with the latest bios.  If it's an earlier revision, but still FLAME6, then it's the latest board with an older BIOS.  BIOS update was available on the old forum, don't know if it still is here. My ProBE was originally 1.6 and I updated to 2.0.

You can get 1 or 2GB sticks of this memory on eBay pretty cheap these days.  2x2GB sticks are more than enough and can be had for under $50.  2x1GB are fine for most, and are less than half that.

My ProBE with 2x2GB sticks of this shows RAM as 4096 MB [4-5-5-15 DDR2] and it runs like a champ, including two lightly used web sites, DDClient, and all the regular functions of a NAS.  But it also has an upgraded Core2 E6600 processor (which has similar specs to the standard Dual Core Pentium E5300 of the newer Pro6).
