MEMORY FOR AKAI MPC4000

I moved the MV discussion elsewhere. If you want to continue reading the series, then send private mail and I will give you the directions. Today's new post is very insightful.

Simply adding more memory to any device results in a performance gain.

I don't really agree on this one.
Performances can get a 5% or even more improvement by switching CL3 memory with CL2 (and 5% is a lot in the computer world).

In most case yes, but in a few other it might slow your system down a little bit because of bad memory controller design...

Even the memory manufacturers state that the difference between CL2 and CL3 is so small it will never been noticed. Regardless, you have to use the module for which the device is designed. If it doesn't say CL2 "or" CL3, and you insert the wrong type, then the module isn't going to work.

"If it doesn't say CL2 "or" CL3, and you insert the wrong type, then the module isn't going to work. "

this is true



for the performance difference, I can assure you it is much better to have CL 2 than CL 2.5 or CL 3 (I read a lot of technical reviews about PC hardware and memory latency and I already tested it myself)
goin from CL 2.5 to CL 2 is translated by a gain of at least 5%

memory manufacturers might tell you there is not much difference between CL 2 and CL 2.5 or CL3 because it is easier and cheaper for them to manufacture CL3 chips than CL 2.5 or CL2
