what ram is compatible with the mpc1000?

what ram is compatible with the mpc1000? and can it be expanded beyond 128mb?

As far as I know.... which isn't a great deal (as yet ) it can only be upgraded to a max of 128mb at the minute.

My MPC is being delivered tomorrow and the first thing I would like to do is upgrade the Ram, so if anyone has any suggestions of what and where to buy I would be very interested as well

Just been through this myself. Unless ya gettin the Akai memory(expensive!) you need laptop RAM SODIMM PC133 144pin 256Mb. For some technical reason you need 256megs if not using Akai's. The MPC will only read 128Mb of it. I made the mistake of ordering Kingston 128mb but had to return as needing 256. Hope this helps

Oh and Nate as ya in UK i found Ebay & Amazon to have some good deals. Got mine through Amazon. Prob same deal in states but not sure

Hi,
Upgrading my MPC1000's ram to 128mb

Crucial PC133 SODIMM 144pin

what DID work for me was

i hope this is some help to anyone looking

I am thinking of doing just that...

How is it installed, kinda scared of breaking the 1000 and voiding any warranties?

thanks

If you've ever opened a computer...it's the same thing.Take out tthe screws on the face (bottom, back and sides)lift the face off and you'll see where the memory goes.Just look at the memory and line it up with the slot.Put the face and screws back on and you're ready to go.Also make sure you're grounded.
