Do I get any kind of "Leader" for this?

[freeradical]

I have a Brother HL-5340D laser printer. It came stock with 16 MB of RAM. I just picked up a 512 MB module on eBay for $10 delivered. I just printed a test page, and the printer now reports that it has 528 MB of RAM. I know that I'll probably never need this much RAM, but for $10, how can you go wrong?

Don't ask for a leader. Just post your findings.

Leader for the RAM upgrade. Are the print jobs faster? Is the printer faster?

[Racer X]

Only if the RAM was repurposed from a donor Mac.

[Speedy]

Nope. But enjoy the upgrade!

How about sideways, sort of?

redeal! = r.e.deal! = R(AM).E(xpansion).deal!

Half a lea

By the way, what did the extra RAM get you, other than $10 poorer?
Are your print jobs any faster?

I'm wondering abut that too. Just a place to store printed documents?

NO. Asking for Leader recognition automatically disqualifies you from Leader status...... :facepalm:

Print jobs are not faster. What you get out of more RAM is the ability to print bigger documents. With a laser printer, an entire file/document must be in the printer's memory for printing to begin. If you have something that needs 32 MB of RAM, and your printer only has 16 MB of RAM, you can't print that document.

I did not know this!

I'd never have occasion to print a 16G document, let alone a 32G, but I'd never figure out why it wouldn't print.
