upgrade memory readynas ultra
anyone know how much memory i can shoe horn in the ultra 4 and am i likey to see much of an improvment in performance :D
Do you not have a 1Gbit card built into the desktop - most do these days. If you would post your desktops make and model I will see what I can find when I get back Sunday afternoon.
FWIW - I "borrowed" the 1GB SODIM from my 6 year old HP laptop (it met the specs) and put it in my NV+, ran the memory tests and it cleared. It never gave me any problems but I did not not any dramatic improvement over the 256MB that was stock. Since I did get dramatic improvement in my laptop when I upgraded, after a few days, I returned it to the laptop and returned the original 256MB module to the NV+.
I also have an NVX with the stock 1GB SODIM and doing some tests a while back, the read/write speeds between my desktop with a built in 1Gbit ethernet connection and the NVX through a Netgear GS108 switch, I was able to get some amazing transfer speeds. This was using a 3GB test file which was a MP4 video file copied and renamed TEST so as to not disturb the original file. Copying from the NVX to a Samsung HD203WI connected via eSATA the average was 99MB/s but the transfer back was half that at 47MB/s. I'm not sure memory would increase that.
