Can anyone please let me know the specification/equivalence for the memory expansion for the mpc2500 I bought one on amazon and its not loading up the 128?

PC 133 144PIN CL3 SODIMM 256MB.

The CL3 (Clock Latency rating) is the key. Some RAM is simply not labeled with the CL number. (BTW the MPC only reads half a 256MB stick as 128MB by design, the official RAM is actually a 256MB stick too). I never had a stick without the CL rating listed work in an MPC, so specific to a 1000 or 2500 (same RAM spec) I would guess the ones with no CL label are not CL3.

The good news is you can find those for $10 or even less online.
