Ultra 4 + Corsair Value 2GB

Hi all,

Yesterday, I replaced de 1GB Sodimm module with the PC6400 Corsair Value 2GB (CORSAIR SO-DIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 - 2 Go 800 MHz - CAS 5 - Value - VS2GSDS800D2). I ran memtest 3 times without any error, and i got a nice performance upgrade (i need to confirm it when the NAS will have a longer uptime than yesterday night)

Here's a quote of my post in the performance thread :

With my Ultra4 with jumbo frames off, i have : Single Caviar Green 3TB on NAS : -40MB/s Read&Write with CIFS/SMB access -55-90MB/s Read and 55MB/s Write with ftp access Current config (2 Seagate 3TB added) : -45MB/s Read&Write with CIFS/SMB access -60-95MB/s Read and 60MB/s Write with ftp access With the current config, IOMeter gives me 50MB/s Read and 55MB/s Write. I don't know if jumbo frames are worth the investment on my Ultra4 (I would need to buy at least a compatible NIC on my computer and a third GS105 switch, my router is said to support only 2k jumbo frames). FYI, iperf gives me a constant 110MB/s between my computer and my NAS. I just installed a 2GB Corsair RAM module, I now get : -60MB/s Read and 48MB/s Write with CIFS/SMB access -59MB/s Read and 57MB/s Write with IOMeter.
