I would start by reading the manual. Use the search here at the forums to address any problems you might encounter. If you can't find help in a search then post a question asking for advice or help.

You've come to the right place.

I would go to your local Music store to get the ram. If they are an authorized akai dealership you'll be safe getting the ram there. I have heard that up to 256MB ram will work, but it's not recommended by akai.

^ ^ go to the 1k forums and look for the sticky about working ram.

you can get it for half the rediculous price of the akai ram, and it works just as well.
