Motif XS DIMM question

[Bubbajazz]

Hi, all. It's been a while.

 

I have a Motif XS, and want to install DIMMs. There is a local deal on new PNY 1 Gig boards, PC133, 2700. I know there is a 1 Gb limit on memory install, and to install in pairs. My question - could this work at all? I wouldn't expect to see 2 Gb, just hoping that this could save me a couple of bucks.

 

Thanks in advance.

I didnt use the recommended brand of dimm either and it works fine. However, dont bother adding more than requirement, its useless and doesnt do anything but add more boot up time

Thanks, Greg. I'm not using the 1g for capacity. It's because 512s aren't locally available, but there is a deal on the 1G board.

 

Is the slower boot time merely on power-up, or does that affect load times for switching patches?

yes, only power on... I remember years ago, guys over on motifator timed the power on and came to that conclusion

PC100 or PC133 SDRAM (168 pin) modules having no more that 18 memory chips/module are required. Not all brands are compatible.

 

What is the "2700"?...If that's PC2700 DDR (184 pins), it won't fit.

Contrary to what the manual says, the limit is actually 2 GB.
