Hi all,
CountZero, why didn't you use the Samsung's IC K4S561632E-TC75 (16MX16 166MHz)?
which values you have set in nvram to view 62556 byte?

@Ivan
I used what I could get, and 166MHz is for the -60 version
I could have used the CL2 verison(-7E) but it didn't occur to me...
As I said, no change of nvram variables necessary(but ncdl should be cleared, se posts #33-35 in this thread: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=3892&p=2 ) the memory size is autodetected by CFE during bootup.
refer to this page for sdram variables: http://wl500g.dyndns.org/sdram.html
as you can see, 128MB would be possbile with 512Mbit chips. These are hower not very easy to obtain(in small quantities at least)
Edit: Since 32Mx16 DDR chips seems common you could possibly get 128MB if you are adventurous.....

well
If I find IC K4S561632E-TC75, I can try it.
I hope...
512Mbit chips have 66 pins. It's difficult.

Not the ones I had in mind....

eh eh do you have try debian with 64Mb?
Too expensive for me But digikey was cheaper.. if it weren't for shipping and import duties... well well 64MB is enough for now
No, and I don't plan to, 128MB would be helpful for debian I think..
I am quite happy with Olegs firmware for the moment. I have tested transmission without any swap and it seems to run fine. Still have to do some more testing with more active torrents(max 2 so far) but I don't have a suitable HDD(i.e a silent one).

on my WL500G Deluxe I have Olegs firmware + debian and... AMULE
It work correctly but if I put more 6 files to download, swap wake up to 30Mb and cpu usage is too expansive.
swap file on HDD is too late...
I've 80Gb HDD 2.5" attacked to USB port.
perhaps with 64Mb it work perfectly.

Does somebody know if there is some guarantee this is to work on a WL-500g?
I have taken a look at the schematics of the WL-500GX but I do not find the R68&R69 connected in the same manner in the WL-500G. I do not get continuity between R68&R69 and leg 36.
On WL-500g leg no. 36 (SD_A12) on memory chip is not connected hence memory upgrade is not possible.
First deluxe is upgraded to 64MB!
First test was not good, there was no output on serial port. I looked again, and there was one tiny connection between 2 pins.
That did the trick!
Router booted normally, with 64MB reported!
Great! Another 2 deluxe's to go!Code:total used free shared buffers Mem: 62968 10096 52872 0 1208 Swap: 0 0 0 Total: 62968 10096 52872
First I will run this one for a while, to see if it will be stable.
I used Corsair SDram 128MB PC133 module, 4 chip on one side.

I'm selling my wl500gx routers, because I'm migrating to other hardware. But I have still some memory chips messing around here, which will fit for the Deluxe router! So, if you're interested in them, send me a message. I can also do the upgrade for other people, my deluxe is running fine until now on 64MB.
If you want me to do the upgrade, send me a message.
