Hi guys. I've recently upgraded my hardware from 2 core CPU (AMD E350) to a 4 core CPU (Intel J1900). Along with the hardware I went with DSM upgrade from 5.1 to 6.1.3.
To make all 4 cores appear in DSM I used DS3617xs firmware and loader. But it lacks some 3rd party packages I need. So I had to go back to the DS3615xs, but I stayed with DSM 6.1.3.
My question is if the DS3615xs system still uses all 4 cores of J1900 CPU, although it shows only 2? Should I look forward to upgrade to DS3617xs when packages I need become available or there is no point waiting? What are the practical reasons and pros of DS3617xs over the DS3615xs?
