oops.

it'll only read half of that - unless it's from akai. i don't know the technicals. if you didnt order it online, take it back and get the 256 to max out your machine.

nah, it will only give you 64mb. you have to get a 256 mb chip.

read the sticky at the top of the 1k section.

What's the idea of installing memory at all, if you're not maxing it out?

as far as the ram cards those little black cells on the card are like little flash cards that hold information and the size/ number of them on the card makes all the difference. :wink:

When some folks were trying to fit the 128 MB ram in their mpc's, it wouldn't recognize the stick or it won't boot up properly.
