Buying memory upgrade (skipback upgrade?)

[louis]

Im about to buy 512mb ram but i want to be 100% sure im buying right right thing...
I found the following...

M366S6453CTS-C7A Samsung 512MB 168pin PC133 Non-ECC Unbuffered DIMM 64X64 SDRAM Memory

This should work right?

You want to make sure it is low density and not high density.

This is the place to get your memory.......I live in the UK and these guys were fantastic shipping it to me and it works great. Should be a no brainer if you are in the US.

thanks thekeymaster... wow, price went up $20... crap.

I agree... this site isgreat.

I ordered a 512Mb card, and it arrived within 10 days from the USA.

I am in Western Australia....and cheap too... about 15% of the cost of the RRP from local Roland dealer.

I recommend the site.

alright so i upgraded my ram, worked great. now i got a question regarding the skipback function. any way to make it remember more now that there is more memory?

[apex]

Yes there is!!!

Press the Menu Button
Then go down to Input/Sampling

Then look for Skip Back Time

You can choose between Off, and between 5-40 seconds of skip back time.

Be sure to write (save) the settings once you chose what you like!!!

Just in case you want to reference it with the manual it's on page #302. It's in the System Settings Section.

Take Care. Enjoy your FG!

I bought my 512Mb from a guy called 'Funky Giraffe' on e-bay for under £7 inc postage (got it next day) and it works a treat. In fact I bought 2 so I have a spare one if anyones interested

tnx spike
well what made me reply to this thread was noticing many 1GB RAM chips recommended for the FG. But i'll stick to your word - i was looking at this: http://cgi.ebay.com/512MB-RAM-memory-UPGRADE-ROLAND-FAN...
any feedback?
Cheers!

just get the 1G and save yourself from re-buying later.
