Fwd: [Arm-netbook] ARM port(s) BoF at DebConf

[lkcl luke <luke.leighton@gmail.com>]

ughh :)  *sigh* why is this so difficult for manufacturers to
understand that there are people who both want and need to push the
limits?  don't tell me, i know the answer: they want to reduce costs
in mass-volume manufacturing.   *sigh*.

It takes DDR3 RAM, but it's soldered on board. A google image search
gave me this link:
http://www.legionhardware.com/articles_pages/netgear_readynas_duo_v2,3.html

Here is internals of ReadyNAS Duo (not v2):

A forum post says that only ReadyNAS Duo has SO-DIMM socket, v2 doesn't have it.

Such a pity, with USB3, SATA and Gigabit Ethernet, it's a very good
product for this price. But memory is not upgradeable.
