MPC1000 RAM and CF card Recommendations

hey guys im a newbie and i purchased a kingston 256mb 144pin memory and i cant get it to fit. The open groove is on the wrong end any suggestions?

Hey y'all.
New here. Just picked up an MPC1000 and added some RAM.
Got it from Ebuyer. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/24226 Choose free delivery and it's a flat £8.
I use this company all the time and they've never let me down.

I know kingstons 256mb 133hz 144 pin cl3 etc is the preferred ram to get, but can't find any kingstons with that specs..

Crucial

sorry for the swedish link but you get the idea what I mean

Just bought a Duracell 16GB Compact Flash card (600x, 90MB/s) and it's working fine.

£28 from here: http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product ... _id=111237

Dont spend the extra money on a 256MB because the MPC1000 can only read 128MB.

So if you are getting one for the sake of the 256mb... now you know

Thats not the case there buddy boy, but you get an A+ for math skills. The AKAI branded card only utilizes 128 meg thats routed to one side of the chip. On any other chip, 256 meg is routed to 2 points of contact, therefore to get 128 with a non-Akai branded chip, it has to be 256. Theres plenty mention of this in this thread, maybe you should read before you give misleading info?

Hello!

Guys I need some opinion about MPC RAM. Official Akai EXM 128 RAM is realy expensive, so I found on ebay reference quality ram, as the buyer says.

I also looked on amazon and found this:

http://www.amazon.com/Princeton-SDRAM-PC133-144PIN-SODIMM/dp/B0027FRUIQ


I've read in the first post that Princeton is the way to go. What about Kingston or other two unofficial RAMs from ebay?

Is any of these worth buying or it's just a waste of money?

Will it work with my MPC or should I buy the original Akai?




I would also like to know if these CF card will work fine?

Thanks for help!

I bought a stick of

AllComponents 256MB CL3 144-Pin SO-DIMM PC 133

and it does NOT work, resulting in a blank screen at startup.

Just a note for anyone who might purchase it.

I have 2 GB CF card and 128 MB, and I can't load 2 GB sample on this card, why?

happy to report that the sandisk 16gb extreme pro cf card works perfectly on the 2500.

I'm gonna be honest i'm still a little confused, would this RAM work:

It has everything that the original post says it needs to.
