RN516 Memory Upgrade
Curious if anyone knows if it is possible to upgrade the memory on the RN516? From what I can gather, the RN516 is using one slot (2 available) with a single innoDisk 4GB 1600 W/ECC DIMM, model # M3C...
Honestly, you won't notice the dual channel difference either given the bandwidth already available.
As I said on the other thread, if you have the original purchase proof, I don't see how they could refuse to take it under warranty, so I wouldn't give them reason to bail out for a few millisecond difference while launching the admin page or a 1sec difference while booting.
If you were to run some virtualisation software or if you plan to use it as a server under heavy load (transcode, things like oracle applications...), upgrade to 16Gb (8Gb is merely good if you plan to use it as desktop computer). More over, having two chips that are identical reduces the incompatibility risk. But for home use, it is not worth it IMO.
