Re: Snap Server 2000 RAM Upgrade?
Well I found out the RAM can be upgraded. My next question is will it make a difference in the performance? If so, should I go with a 128MB or 256MB chip?

If you are moving a lot of files, JVM or in RAID it will boost performance. More the better. I thich the default on the newer model 2000 is 64 meg, where the older models only had 32.

It will act like a cache, meaning extra storage space to get files ready to be transferred and written

Re: Snap Server 2000 RAM Upgrade?
I just upgraded my v2 Snap 2000. It seems it will only recognise 128MB. I installed a 256MB Dimm, but it only shows 134,217,728 bytes of total memory when I run the debug memory command. Has anyone been able to upgrade to 256MB or higher?

Re: Snap Server 2000 RAM Upgrade?
You have installed High Density ram, The snap only reconizes low density.

Re: Snap Server 2000 RAM Upgrade?
Thanks for the help with the RAM type.
I got a low density 256Mb stick, and the Snap now recognises it all. I started another thread about some informal benchmarking I did comparing transfer rates with 64, 128 and 256 MB of ram. |
