Just use one of the RAM modules you have lying around in your spares bin and hope the chipset is capable of booting and utilising it. Some SoCs are crippled by design, having a max RAM capacity they will initialise hardcoded in their boot code. They may not see or use more RAM and may even refuse to boot with it. Nevertheless, it could be an interesting project for a rainy day, on a router which is on its way out anyway: http://neophob.com/2006/01/wrt54g-ram-upgrade/ -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
