2GB Upgradability and other hardware

[Urhilf]

Hi all! Sorry for digging this post, but it seemed better than opening a new one…

Im going to buy the nc20 tomorrow, and I want to put 2Gb RAM…

Is this module the correct one for the Nc20 (sorry, I’m an ignorant on this issue…)

Kingston ValueRAM 2GB DDR2 800MHz PC2-6400 SODIMM

Thanks!

Unlike the nano, the atom has an fsb of 800 MHz, I’d think using pc6400 modules in the nc20 would make more sense than using them on the nc10?

To be clear, this is reversed. The Nano has an FSB of 800 MHz, the Atom N270 in the NC10 is limited to 533 Mhz

So the 2 GB pc6400 800Mhz module makes sense for the NC20, but would be overkill for the NC10.

I don’t think OS X will work well on the NC20, there may be difficulties with the graphics chipset as no Mac uses Via Chrome.

The Ethernet on the NC20 is supposedly a Marvell 88E8040 which is not supported. Though it looks like it may work in Snow Leopard. Sound chipset looks like it’s the same as the NC10 as well, don’t know if they have switching working with it yet.

I think the ethernet driver just got solved.

We might have to wait for the final 10.5.7 release, but…

I think the ethernet hardware is the same in both the NC10 and NC20, if this is the case then yes you can get it working easily and reliably now.
