upgrading MPC3000 with old PC memory?

Hi

I'd like to max out my 3000. Is it possible to use PC133 sdram (old PC memory, 30 pins)?

Thanks

nah man, don't take the chance.

check ebay. they sell it for a resonable price son.

About 10 years ago I did this with my Emu ESI-32 sampler, and it worked!
I'm not sure if this is possible with the MPC. I can't find info online

If anyone knows....please let me know

This can be done.

You will need to have an old PC with the right kind of RAM. -- 2 pcs of 16MB 30-pin SIMMS.

ok cool

but

according to http://www.vintagesynth.com/akai/mpc3000.php it says:

"Memory - 2MB RAM (22 seconds) to 16MB"

so is the max capacity of ram 32mb or 16 mb?

here is an auction for 70 NS! 2x16mb, 30 pin, non parity. this should work if the specs above are correct.

32MB.

The info on vintage synth was probably cut and pasted from some incorrect source. Again, check out www.mpc3000.com lots of technical goodies.
