RAM

By Stealf-Records Fri Nov 11, 2005 1:34 pm
Ok, this has proberly been sorted a million times, and I've tried the search function, but it's s***, so I was wondering if anyone on here can help
I got a new XL, and was wondering how the ram worked. I wanna put the full 32mb in, But do I need 2 16mb sticks, or can I put a single 32mb in?
Sorry if I've repeated a previous thread, but I need help...

Cheers fam

You can do it either way. Some people put the 2-16's in just in case one goes bad you'll still have the other 16(+2)mb to work with.
I got the 32mb stick in mine and haven't had any poblems.

This is straight of of the AKIA page:

Q. What type of memory will work in my MPC2000XL?
A. You should use 72-pin Fast Page or EDO SIMMS with a speed rating of 70 ns (nanoseconds) or faster. They can be either parity or non-parity (if parity is present it will be ignored), and should have gold leads. The MPC2000XL supports 16 MB and 32 MB SIMMS. However we recommend using 2 x 16 MB SIMMS because the manufacturing specifications of 32 MB SIMMS have changed slightly since the introduction of the MPC2000XL and we have discovered that not all 32 MB SIMMS will work.

Make sure the MPC is unplugged when you install the RAM. Installing the RAM is easy. It goes in at a slight angle into the mounts and snaps in upright.

Beware of static charge!!!! Touch a lightswitch (the metal screw part works best) to discharge any static energy you have in you. Then make sure you keep one hand on the MPC chassis (this will keep you and the MPC as one "unit" so no charge will transfer through the card when you install it) while you snap the memory in with the other hand.
