ReadyNAS RAM Upgrade - Needed?

2GB should be more than enough. We do use available memory for caching to improve performance and free it up as needed. Unless you are seeing swap being used the benefits from upgrading the memory would be minimal.
Some advanced users install things like Crashplan or setup VirtualBox (though you would be limited to 32-bit VMs as your CPU doesn't support VT-x) using SSH. Both of these lots of RAM. But for most users who don't use things like those 2GB will be more than enough.
Good deal, thanks man!
