It's PC3200, i.e. DDR1, 200Mhz, CAS3, unbuffered 184-pin DIMM. The chipset (in the J6350, at least) is the Intel E7221, essentially a 925X MCH. Juniper uses non-ECC, but I prefer to use ECC -- the chipset supports it, and the BIOS appears to. The unit will accept (i.e. boot with) up to 4GB, but the spec is 2GB max. Naturally, I'd recommend having a look at what's actually installed in your unit prior to buying new. Hmm. Wiki? [http://juniper.cluepon.net/index.php/J4350]? There's a nice photo -- take a closer look (although the labels aren't... quite... readable). > I'm imagining third-party RAM is much cheaper than Junipers.

Juniper uses Micron RAM (in all of the units I've seen), so you can hardly go wrong with Crucial. I can't comment on the support aspect -- heck, call 'em and ask. Peter E.
