Upgrade Readynas Pro 6
I'm a happy owner of a newly aquired elderly ReadyNAS Pro 6 running lates OS 6.10.3 in otherwise stock configuration: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2160 @1.80GH 1 GB Installed Memory BIOS 08/20/20...
I run in my old pro business with a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3230 @ 2.66GHz with 8GB ram.
Works perfect, no heat issues.

I was also considering the 3230. Are you using the Stock fans?
Yes, i'm using stock fans.

I just picked my cpu from some old project i had..
Fastest possible with the lowest TDP... 95W against 105 on the q6700.
I can't remember the cache size but i think it's a bit larger on the 3230.
The x3230 is basically a q6700 with performance almost like a q9400:
Good day viperhansa
Are you running the X3230 on the ReadyNAS Pro 6?
I want to upgrade ram up to 8gb on my RNDP6350.
Could you suggest the exact model of the DDR2 RAM?Architecture: x86_64

Not at home so i cannot check.

I don't think Crucial is making 4 GB DDR2 modules anymore (at least they aren't on their website). Finding compatible 2 GB modules is much easier (and cheaper). Note you can't use high-density modules (often labeled as "AMD").
Several years ago I went with Patriot PSD28G800K, which has worked well. But there's not much out there, and it is quite expensive at the moment.
I think this will work: https://www.ebay.com/itm/A-Tech-8GB-2-x-4GB-PC2-6400-Desktop-DDR2-800-MHz-240pin-DIMM-Memory-RAM-8G-2x-4G/321872623219
Hopefully Sandshark will chime in.
