in my experience the PRO is very fussy about memory. You could get lucky with the first stick you try, but for me it took 3 attempts but got there in the end.

Actually the Pro has been anything but fussy about memory. As long as you put in DDR 400 memory it works every time! I did find that ECC 333 memory didn't work, but that's because ECC doesn't like to be "pushed". As long as you use 400 non-ECC, it boots every time. I think 333 might one edge of useability with the pro. They cost about the same so might has well spend the extra 3 bucks for DDR400. Right now I am using a 200mhz/400 CPU and a 1g 400 memory and everything is running fantastically. Perhaps not quite as wonderful as a n5500 but nice for my Mediatomb uses!

Actually YOUR Pro has been anything but fussy about memory. As long as you put in DDR 400 memory it works every time! It depends on the luck of the draw and I'm just not that lucky As you'll see from this thread I had previously tried 2 different DDR400 dimms and neither worked for me. So I resorted to hunting down a 1GB dimm with the same modules as the factory supplied one. So unfortunatley the one I now have is DDR 333 and I believe that causes me problems when running the cpu at a 533MHz bus speed. But that too can be worked around by getting hold of a 2Ghz 400 Mhz bus cpu.

www.crucial.com/uk/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT12864Z40B# Module Size: 1GB # Package: 184-pin DIMM # Feature: DDR PC3200 # Specs: DDR PC3200 • CL=3 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR400 • 2.6V • 128Meg x 64 • Update: Bought one, installed into N5200Pro 1Gig recognised. Currently running at stock clock so RAM is underclocked at 333Mhz right now... Ran the Intel NAS test before and after, minor differences, but nothing to write home about... Let's see if the new CPU changes that (hopefully it will arrive tomorrow).

You can add Patriot PSD1G400 to the working list. I bought one from MicroCenter with a rebate to use in my N5200 Pro. It's been running for over a week now with no issues.

Stolen enough from this forum, so it's time to give a little back. I have the N5200pro (non BR ) Any one know where to get the multiport daughterboard?? I went to my local memory store memoryten, down the street and they hooked me up with a mt16vddt12864ay-40bf 1GIG. Don't know WTF the brand is (an M with a weird circle around it, have pics) but after googleing it looks like they might have 2gig modals........:kekeke: might need that when I turn this into a unraid server. So after hacking the VGA, and setting the 133 jumper, I was able to get these results; with 400/200/100/133 I think, I don't know I forget. CPU was !.50GHz DDR333 now is 1.98GHz BUT at DDR200... No notice in performance yet. I need to re-break my 5 disk raid-5 into a 4 disk raid-5, then use that extra 1tb disk as a iscsi target. Before all this I was getting ~25MB/s iscsi. Witch I wont do until I get my EON system online. FYI: I 1st tried the kth-xw4100a 1g for its ECC capitulates which would have been awesome for my needs, but it doesn't work. So if you or anyone know of need of this please let me know!

Memory is designed to be backward-compatible, so generally speaking, you can safely add faster memory to a computer that was designed to run slower memory. However, your system will operate at the speed of the slowest memory module.
One thing to keep in mind is that the memory does need to be the same type - for example, SDRAM cannot be mixed with DDR, and DDR cannot be mixed with DDR2 and DDR2 cannot work in a DDR3 system.
We recommend that you use the Crucial Memory Advisor™ or System Scanner tools to find the right memory for your computer. Rather than give memory modules catchy names, the industry refers to modules by their specifications. But if you don't know a lot about memory, the numbers can be confusing. Here's a short summary of the most popular types of memory and what the numbers refer to.

I have added an Ultra ULT31084 Dual channel 1024ddr pc4000 500mhz chip to my 5200pro the chip also has heat spreader
my next thing would be to upgrade the CPU and maybe add a little bit better heat sinks to it
the main thing is to try and get some 3TB drives in there
and also upgrade the flash module with a 2gig one and run Linux server on it as a full blown server. nice that you can swap out that little guy.
