RAM and HDD Confirmations

Yo, I've read all of the stickied threads here on HDDs and RAM for the MPC1000, but just for piece of mind, I'd like somebody that might know something I don't about MPCs to confirm that these should all work before I go ahead and purchase them.

RAM - Should I be put off by the lower price at all? Most of the others are £20-30.

HDD -This is actually the only drive I can find around the 80-100GB mark as well as being IDE. Most are 160GB. Would the MPC1000 take that?

Sorry if I'm posting what you've all read a million times before, but cheers!

No. It's RAM. The lower price ones work just as fine as the more expensive ones. The only difference is price.

Yes. If you need a higher capacity hard drive, you may be able to find one for sale on eBay.

Well yeah, I was just wondering if one was more reliable than the other, but okay.

Oh, awesome. I just read in the stickied thread that anything over 100GB wasn't tested so far, but I guess that was 8 years ago.

Cheers for the response.

my 160 g hd gave me something like 120-130g in the mpc 1k.

That's the system limitation. Can't go any higher than that no matter how large the drive is.

Thanks! That's good to know.
