Did anyone upgraded their DDR modules? Please post your make and models here.

i ve not upgrade or swapped the DDR module in mine yet but just for those who are wondering. the default 128mb ram stick in the N2100 is a Kingmax SuperRam www.kingmax.com/product/superram/superram.htmso technicaly speaking the SuperRam Series from kingmax 512mb, 256mb and 128mb sticks should be compatiable with the N2100 not sure about the 1gb stick as its got CAS CL3 and the rest have CAS CL 2.5 |

Hi,
I tried a 512 Mo DDR 400 Dane Elec memory module on it.
It worked fine but I didn't see any difference with my benchmark.
I have got twice barracuda 7200.8 300 Mo in raid 1.
For all my transfer tests (Pc to the N2100 and N2100 to the Pc) of 18 files (10 ko up to 1Go) for a total of 4.36 Go, it took me the same time with the original 128 Mo or with my 512 Mo Dane elec module.

I'm not massively surprised at the lack of performance improvement when adding more memory.
My guess is that (depending on the server spec) improved performance might be noticeable for high web server load (i.e. the image gallery) where in-memory caching is likely to provide lower seek latency.

After I have installing the mshapf's SSH module, I wanted to know the Thecus memory free. It appears that's only 7 MB of ram memory are available (36 MB buffered). See the 2MB swap too. Thecus_N2100:/# free | total | used | free | shared | buffers | | Mem: | 126992 | 120224 | 6768 | 0 | 36288 | | Swap: | 200696 | 2684 | 198012 | | | | Total: | 327688 | 122908 | 204780 | | |
Note that I have just the SSH module and the Itunes server deactivated. My server was idle during this test. |

Thanks to gunny2k6 for identifying the existing module. I've just thrown in a 512MB module of the same type and it seems to be working fine. Below is two sets of data from the box after the memory was added. The first one is the machine at idle. The second is with rendered images in the gallery. N2100:~# free ______total used free shared buffers Mem: 516496 78152 438344 0 30696 Swap: 505912 0 505912 Total: 1022408 78152 944256 N2100:~# free _____ total used free shared buffers Mem: 516496 135224 381272 0 30996 Swap: 505912 0 505912 Total: 1022408 135224 887184 N2100:~ # N2100:~# Please note that the memory usage with the gallery open is greater than the memory available on the original module. The gallery did come up a hell of a lot faster with the new memory module. I would suggest to thecus that this is something that needs to be addressed. They're probably pulling their hair out at the moment wondering how they managed to lose control of the product to the users  |

The new memory module has been in for a week and has performed flawlessly.
When the gallery has been in use i've seen the memory usage up over 270mb.
Good reason to upgrade/

Wow, I just manage to installed a 512Mb ram. It made a BIG DIFFERENCE it cuts my transfer rate more than half.
<Model>
Corsair
CO-1024-3200XLP / TWINX 1024MB (2X512) PAIR PC3200XL DDR
The ram memory came from a dual channel kit I purchase awhile back. Using only one stick inside.
P.S, has anyone used 1gig of memory? Anything different?

Noone has gotten a 1GB stick to work yet. The reason for this has to do with addressing. I think it should be possible, but one has to fix the bootloader and possibly the kernel to do it. So at the moment, it is only possible to use <=512MB

OK, I've successfully used a 512Mb stick of Crucial Ballistix memory part no.: BL6464Z402
This is a 512Mb 184pin unbuffered DIMM 64Mx64 PC3200 DDR 2.8v non ECC
Timing 2-2-2-6
It's been in for 3 days now with no problems at all.

Has anyone installed a 1GB memory module, according to intel the chip accepts 1GB
"The Intel 80219 General Purpose PCI Processor also features a 200 MHz DDR SDRAM controller with ECC that supports up to 1 GB of 64-bit DDR SDRAM."

I've added a 512Mb Ballistix module into my N2100 and it's running fine.
I was wondering whether there are any tweaks or configuration options that can be made to the OS to optimize it to run with more available memory?
