#277135 - 09/03/2006 10:43 Empeg RAM upgrade chips and some lenses too.
Major_Sarcasm member Registered: 28/08/2003 Posts: 149 Loc: Isle of Wight, UK	Hi all I have a pair of RAM chips sat here on my desk doing very little (other than looking pretty in their little blister packs). I'm never going to get round to (a) attempting an install, or (b) asking my mate to do it. Hence, they're for sale. Originally purchased from Paul Grzelak some time back, these (IIRC) will upgrade a MK2a to 32MB being as they are a pair of 8MB chips. I stand to be corrected on this as it was quite a while ago that I bought them. I have no idea what they're worth as I can't remember what I paid for them, so offers via PM or email please. I also have some non-original lenses lying around too. Again, offers via PM or email please. I'm happy to separate, but it would be less hassle for all concerned if the lenses went as a job lot.

n2toh journeyman Registered: 29/01/2001 Posts: 89 Loc: New Jersey, United States	is there a FAQ for installing the chips in a MK2? Also who did you buy them from? _________________________ The only difference between science fiction and reality is about 60 years. 100GB MK2 Green 080000171 + OEM tuner v3.00a11 hijack v450 jEmpload v70

tman carpal tunnel Registered: 24/12/2001 Posts: 5528	These chips are only for a Mk2a. The mk2 upgrade with stacking chips only gets you to 16MB from 12MB. Details here and here. You'll need to find somebody with a spare memory upgrade board if you want more than 16MB.

If I were crazy/stupid enough to desolder the factory chips what could be supported? _________________________ The only difference between science fiction and reality is about 60 years. 100GB MK2 Green 080000171 + OEM tuner v3.00a11 hijack v450 jEmpload v70
