Hello Everyone!

I'm new to the world of MPC's & would like some advice.

I am about to invest in the MPC 2500 Special Edition but would like confirmation on whether;

1. It does in fact comes with 128MB of onboard memory (unlike the standard version)
2. It does in fact come with the Built-in CD ROM Drive (CD-M25) (unlike the standard version)

3. Will I be able to burn my stuff on to disk with the (CD-M25)?
4. If not, what CD ROM Drive do you recommend? Price?

5. Does the EXM128 memory card come included?
6. What is the largest size card I can buy? Price?

7. What OS do you recommend?


Appreciate any feedback, advice, help!

you can't expand the memory to more than 128MB, so the SE already has max memory.

For the CF card, see viewtopic.php?f=21&t=70802

Sadly, the MPC2500SE is only available in Europe. If you're from the old country then cheers to you on your future purchase.

I believe the JJOS might work for it too.
