OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

For what it's worth, my average speed improvements with Jumbo Frames enabled (totally unscientific testing methods) vary between 15 and 25%. One thing I have noticed that makes a significant difference with regard to whether Jumbo Frame yield any benefit whatsoever is how it is implemented in the SWITCH firmware. I've done some testing with older 3Com gigabit switches and newer NETGEAR switches. The older 3Com switches apparently did not have the correct Jumbo Frame implementation, as transfer speeds were either the same or worse (slower) than with "normal" frames enabled.
If I had to guess, folks that notice a negative impact on file transfer speeds when Jumbo Frames are enabled, are not using a compatible (or current) Jumbo Frame implementation in their switch/es firmware.
Just my 2 cents. . .
