RAM Details

I took pictures of the actual memory in the MPC and of my screen but I do not know how to attach pictures to the post. I also loaded up over 100mb of samples and it worked flawlessly. Here is a link to the website.

Is the 1K reading the whole 256MB??? I'm getting a 1K in a couple of weeks and I really don't wanna come off $110 for memory unless I really have no other choice.

No, it's only reading 128mb but it's still half the price of what Akai charges.

Not to drag this out, but I went for it and followed the link posted to Micro Center's web site and placed an order.

RAM arrived - it took longer to open the plastic package than to install the RAM.

Works like a bad A$$!

Thanks for the advice.

I got the answer I was seeking. Thanks for visual proof effekt.

I just wanna say "I love you" to all the people that made this possible.

Akai was bullishin' on the mem.

Anybody try 512MB yet

I can't find a 512MB, 4 chip module. Speak if you find one!

I've got a PNY 256mb chip and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the help all!

So yall found the loop hole I see!

www.corsairmemory.com

hope it helps

can you copy paste the exact URL please?

yeah..anyone tried 512mb yet......it's all very exciting you know

I've got a 512 pc133 stick at home. Been sitting there for a long time. When I get home from work I'll see if it's 4chip, and if it is, I'll try installing it.

I dropped in the PNY 256MB pc133 stick..seems to work just fine..mem test twice, and samples...detected as 128MB.

AND, it has 8 chips. So don't let that hold you back.

hi,
I bought a SODIMMn SDRAM 256RAM PC133 and when I tried to install it to the 1K, the test failed !
Does anyone know an adress or an webshop where i could buy a correct RAM in FRANCE ?

thank you by advance....

i got the one from micro center and it wouldnt fit. i bought the exact one that was listed as working a few pages back and it wouldnt fit in. it jsut seemed like a LITTLE bit too big, not even to big it just seemed like it wouldnt fit for some odd reason. anyone having the same problem?

Gotta ask: did you check that the key-hole was in the right place?

There's no other RAM that's "close" in size to the 144pin SODIMM. It should fit, or it's obvious it won't fit.
