heyi would want to buy a readynas ultra 6, after the thecus 7700pro was.. well... a joke,..now i have a really good price for it, but the traders webpage states that the nas only has a single core atom 1,66ghz, not a dual, as the specs on the readynas site say.now i guess that new version have been shipped, before with single-after with dual core?!?!when was that?!?what difference in performance will the single have to the dualcore? ok yeah-double the cores, but lets say at what point of usage would the single core be overstressed?i will have 24/7 bt, musicserver running, and when playing video from it, i will use a netbook (will the netbook do the transcoding then and the nas is only datasupplier?) and not a dnla player or sth, where the nas has to do all the work...might i be happy with the single core?my2cents-they should have a new model number when a new cpu is put in... its a realy mess to find out which of all these RNDU6000-100PES has which cpu in itany help would be appreciated

also i just realized they all just copy paste the specs, so it coulc be either...do i have to ask every seller if its a dualcore?;)

Ultra 6 has always had dual-core CPU. Take a look at http://home.bott.ca

yeah i saw that other thread and had that link..however they are all advertised as single core atoms and companies tend to update products, or maybe the reseller has them lieing round since a year or so, and therefore has old chips in...so you say im save with buying any unit of the above model number and getting a dualcore in it?;)would be great at that price-i would save more than the 7 hdds i spent for the nonexistent thecus nas..thx for your help already-seems the readynas is the way to go for my home/small business/media server with at least 6 slots and an affordable price range

What may confuse those listing the specs on some websites is that the Ultra 2 and Ultra 4 are single core Atoms, while the Ultra 6 is a dual core. The Ultra 2 Plus and Ultra 4 Plus are dual core Atoms and the Ultra 6 Plus has the Intel E2160 Dual Core processor.Hopefully the drives you already have are on the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) for the Ultra 6. Interesting use of terms - "nonexistant". But the Ultra 6 is listed in a number of vendors sites. If you are in the US, I have always had good service from Newegg and they list the Ultra 6 at $760 (including $10 shipping). If you have any other questions, feel free to ask away.

yeah nonexistent it was even when it was here...horrible firmware..im in europe and would get a deal at notebooksbilliger for 461,34€ as business customer...so there was never a ultra 6 series with another cpu than the 1,66 atom dual?;)))my drives are wd20ears, which are on the list with a note of 4k clusters, which seems solved by firmware

yeah wasnt clear enough...
i will always have a proper player..meaning a netbook....
i hate these transcoding problems and reservations and what not
a netbook can do it all...
record, playback, internet, music, data and so on

i dont get why ppl buy these media sset top players at all

ok only field i would trust is a webradio with network playback
since mp3 is a set standard nowadays i would have no problem, but video is not set at all and will not be
i was looking into the 1015n eepc, but heard there was one with non-glare screen, but since i have no server i didnt follow...;)
will order the readynas now... sounds all good

The PES would be the region code indicating the language of included documentation and stuff like that. It's still exactly the same device.

While the PSU is custom, the Ultra 6 uses a standard PC power cable. One would think you'd get a power cable for your region (assuming you purchased locally), but if not they're pretty cheap to purchase if you don't have any spares lying around.
