i got a cisco asa 5505 firewall/vpn. it came with a 256mb memory. i
like to upgrade it to 512mb. after opening the box and looking at the
current memory stick, it seems like another dimm type memory. can i
use a 512mb dimm stick that i have on my PC into it or does it need to
be a certified cisco brand?

thanks

DIMM only identifies the type of slot, not the memory's specifications
(timing, configuration, speed, etc.) If you want to upgrade, you need to
purchase a memory stick that will work in an ASA 5505.

I am in the same boat since I have 8.2.2 on my box and can't go higher
due to memory requirements. I will probably shell out for a Cisco
branded memory, since I want to put the ASA under software support,
but doing a search for ASA memory upgrade UK gave me more DIY results
than people actually selling the memory!

Talking about upgrading the CF card in the unit, also mentions memory
upgrades on there:

Someone who did this very recently for the same reason:

If anyone knows anywhere in the UK who actually has this in stock let
me know...

Thanks.
Andrew.
