RNDP6000-100 CPU/RAM upgrade suggestions
I have a ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition, I believe it is the older model (RNDP6000-100) bought in 2008. I bought it with a RAM upgraded to 3GB (I think DDR2 DIMM). It currently has six, 1TB drives. ...
Either processor is fine. The difference in performance is minimal, but so is the price difference these days. Both can be had for under $10 on eBay. I agree with StephenB, go for the 4GB total RAM. It's also dirt cheap on the used market. CL4 memory will give a minor speed boost over more common CL6, and isn't that much more today. But you'd have to replace it all to get that increase.

Yes. Note most 4 GB sticks aren't compatible (and are expensive), so stick with 2 GB.
The RAM needs to be non-ECC, unbuffered, 2Rx8 (aka "low density") not 2Rx4 (aka "high density" or "AMD only"). Since most PC's of that era were limited to 4GB of RAM, most of the 4GB sticks available are server ram, which is usually at least one of the "can't be's" on that list. Unless you are transcoding more than one stream simultaneously, 4GB should be plenty.
I picked up a pair of these on eBay for $20 for one of my Pro 6. Work like a charm.
EDIT. Looks like it is showing now.
Not sure why the picture isn't showing.
The Crucial Memory part number is :

4GB DDR2-667 UDIMM 1.8V CL5
