A. Go to http://www.akaipro.com/int/download/index.html and click on the latest version for your MPC.

B. Hit Shift+4 (Sample Mode). Then hit Open Window. It will tell you how much memory is available. As far as the last question I'm not 100% positive, I'm about 97% sure it will work if the O.S is saved on the zip.

Your going to have alot of questions so I would suggest also downloading the manual off the akai website and start reading it now so you'll start to familiarize your self with it. Good luck.
