Expand Memory (Flash & RAM)

[nghozzi]

Hi Guys,
Is there a way to expand PHYSICALLY the flash and/or the RAM in a DUO?
I know this is too technical but I wondered if there's a way to solve efficiently the lack of memory in this otherwise perfect receiver !
I'm fed up with the slowing machine and especially the contraints on adding loads of plugins and extensions.
I'm tempted to buy a new DUO2 but it costs a hell of a money, whereas the main difference with the DUO is the flash and the RAM !!
Thx for all ideas and suggestions....

Hi,
no. You can "extend" flash and memory with flashextender plugin and swap memory. The price is loss of speed.

The Duo was a fine receiver in it'd day but it is getting long in the tooth now and as you have found, really struggles with the newer images.

The Duo2 is a giant leap forward by comparison and is currently priced at probably less that the original Duo was back then. Apart from more flash and ram, it has a much faster processor. If you buy one, you will realise just how slow the old Duo was and wonder why you didn't bite the bullet ages ago.

So nobody every tried to solder new memory chip directly on the mainboard if the receiver? ?

Its not just the memory. Processor is dated also.

I know that. But the main issue I'm confronted with is that the flesh memory is quickly saturated with just a few plugins. If this is solved I can live with the low speed...

Then the flash expander plugin is what you need. Personally I wouldn't use it as it will lead to instability never mind the box running slower.

Also do you have a swap file enabled? Go with a 256MB option to your HDD when you setup the swap file.
