Can anyone tell me what RAM module is compatible with the N1200 ?
I'd like to add some more RAM so I can run some more intensive apps on the box.
Thanks !

The DDR1 DRAM chips are soldered on the board.
No DRAM expansion card slot is provided.

If you take out the motherboard, you see on the underside there is a slot . Ah, I have just read a review on Hexus and the implication is that it is a mini-pci slot. Do you know if I can put a memory module in it ? www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=7501&page=3 |

The PCI slot is intended for Wi-Fi card expansion. Thecus has prepared some drivers for this expansion, definitely not including any memory card.
For PC desktop market, some manufacturers built PCI memory card, intended for hard disk replacement, I would say a hard disk cache.
I recall that the N1200 PCI is 66MHz, 32 bit wide.
Performance wise, it is not matching with 64 bit wide 266MHz DDR1 memory.
Most important, no manufacturer is intereted to build mini-PCI memory card.
I have two NAS at home, N1200 always runs BT, another NAS (old PC)is quite idle. I am thinking to transfer the on-going BT task to the old NAS at evening time (when I am at home). Then N1200 will have more Bwidth to do other things.
Just an idea to maximize the N1200 utilization under limited resource.

Thanks for the info.
Do you know how to set up a swap file ? From what I can see, when linux boots up, it does not include swap. If we could configure one, then it might give more headroom to run 'bigger' apps.
NAS:~# df -k

Instead of df, try free

Ah, that is more like it:
NAS:/# free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 126988 122764 4224 0 21868
Swap: 1003896 85328 918568
