I know this has been beaten to death but the MPC1000 sticky-thread gets no traffic, search yielded no answers, & reading all the memory threads didn't either so:

1st time MPC & poster. Oh, cracker with no rhythm skillz but glad to be aboard! Awesome forum.

I realize the spec: PC 133 144PIN CL3 SODIMM 256MB is most important but will DDR or DDR2 work? I checked a couple sites & non-DDR memory is rare.

Back to reading all the threads I missed during the last few years before posting anymore questions!

TIA :)

You need laptop (aka SO-DIMM) SDRAM, it's the predecessor to DDR and DDR2.

Something like this. I use that one and it works perfectly.

You need the 256MB instead of 128MB because the MPC will only read one side of the memory.

Good luck! :)
