Post your views and questions about the Akai MPC2500

We already know that the MPC2500 already accepts hard drives larger than the stated 80GB approved by Akai (I let you guys know when I first installed my HD) and we just found out that that we can use a compact flash larger than 2GB (search the recent threads).

Now what I want to know is that is there someone going to try to see if we can go past the RAM limitations?

I know that there are different types of RAM and the wrong RAM can be devastating to a machine (I've mixed RAM in other applications and burned out the ram). Is there someone who really knows RAM or electronic circuitry enough to dare to try it in their machine and report the results?

It won't work, I'm sure someone with a 1000 tried it with no luck.

Probably a limitation with the CPU or something

Good to know. Do you think that there is a way to defeat the limitation with an OS upgrade? I've heard of computer motherboards where the limitation was expanded a little over time through upgrading/flashing BIOS.

If I'm not making any sense, please disregard. I've taken apart computers but I am still afraid to open up the MPC.

I know microchip count has something to do with RAM (example: 9 chip versus 8 chip RAM in a Kurzweil K2000) Both fit but one is totally different from the other.
