MPC1000 RAM and CF card Recommendations

precisely.

actually the performance of hte ram doesnt matter shit for the MPC as long as its upto specs.

i bought me some generic crap, moved my MPC to and from school almost every day at one stage. survived perfectly, still works.

its not like on a pc where you can benefit from better brands of RAM, cos on a PC the ram has much more demand, but on an MPC its limited by the speed of the CF card and obviously even when you're pushing it hard, it cannot match upto 2 gb of ram clearing itself of textures to the video card of a computer.

you'd have to be REALLY unlucky to get ram that works and then suddenly go's bust.

Is there any guide on how to change the ram in the 1k? I have just got my MPC1000, and I have just placed the order of one piece of kingston 256 mb 144pin so-dimm ram, and a kingston 512 mb cf card...

Yeah I have just ordered my 256 mb ram and my 512 mb cf card for my mpc1000 ordered it for like 10 minutes ago... let's hope the package arrives quick i am looking forward to it :P:P

512 sandisk CF card



is NOT working here. getting errors like these:

gonna return it today, and try something else

Shit i was going to get one of these

maybe get a replacement first and see if it wasent maybe a faulty one

i wasnt gonna get the same type considering past experience. i feel like it's a brand thing. i got a PNY 1GB today, we'll see how that works...


edit: PNY is good! (at least for now)

looks like this one:

soo u guys r moding your mpc? thats crazy someone should get some of the people that mod video game system n have them make mods for mpc soo i can have a hd or a hard drive in my mpc!!!

it checks out to be the spec, so yes.

just a word to say i bought this RAM and it works, $50
there's a link to a cheaper website ($35) butthe company looked kinda sketchy - they were asking a 15% restocking fee - BULLSH!T

I got my Kingston 256 mb pc133 144pin cl-3 in so-dimm ram yesterday - installed it in my mpc1000 in 15 seconds (just unscrew the two screws that hold the lid underneath the mpc1000, pop in the ram module, screw the two screws in again, done) - works like a treat... also got a kingston 512 mb compact flash card at the same time.

i must do a photo guide for this upgrade....

let's say I have a pile of 512 ram hunks lying around... in unused laptops, etc... would these work?

thanks...

You will need a 256 ram module... Or 128 mb if you have a EXM128... since the MPC1k only reads one side of the module.

yeah i just got my ram its a 256mb pc133 n the brand is patriotmemory!! n it didnt work at all!! fukn the thing says pass 1 faild cuz of memory..
SO DONT BUY PATRIOTMEMORY AT ALL ITS A PIECE OF THIS RAM DONT BUY!! I WARN U!!! I MIGHT GO ONLINE N BUY SOME KINGSTON RAM OR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT WORK!
