Posted: Sat Apr 06, 2024 3:18 pm Post subject: Can I use a single 4gb RAM stick? Kronos X |
|
|
My KronosX has an issue where the RAM -which is the RAM that lays flat like PC RAM, NOT the 6 inch or so "standing" RAM like old PCs. I accidenctally bent and many have lost a very small metal sheath that holds the 2nd, or TOP, RAM Slot. The bottom slot is fine. I have managed to get a 1 gb DIMM/SIMM on the bottom and a 2 gb one in the uppermost slot.
Is it possible to use a single 4g RAM Stick (the smaller 4" wide type) as my only RAM? I realize Linux will top off at 3.25GB. It would be nice to just use one chip. I have 2 RAM SIMMS currently working, a 1gb and a 2gb. Shouldn't 3 gigs be enough?
Just curious if I can swap out all my RAM onto just one chip.
Thanks people. _________________ Korg Karma module, Kronos61, SEQUENTIAL PRO3, DSI OB6, Oberheim OB8, XStation25, Yamaha MFC (for Karma Pads), Omnisphere, guitars by Tom Anderson, Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, D'Angelico, Parker, Line6, Guitar Processors by Fractal Audio, Amplification by Mesa, Carvin, w/Celestion V30(!) |

One single 4 GB RAM module is what I have in my K2. The maximum available RAM in a K2 is 1960 MB. The rest of the 4 GB is used by the OS and Kronos systems. Check how much total RAM you have right now in Global Mode as a comparison (KSC Auto-Load, add the values of the blue, red and green boxes). |

I always thought that the maximum RAM available for usage in total was 3.25, due to the limitations of the Linux OS. Anyway, my Kronos ate the shat and I just replaced it with a Kronos X. This one is very very clean. I got 3 GB installed (2g + 1G). I'm just gonna live with that, seems like plenty.
Not I have to start a new thread on how to get all the libraries I paid for again! _________________ Korg Karma module, Kronos61, SEQUENTIAL PRO3, DSI OB6, Oberheim OB8, XStation25, Yamaha MFC (for Karma Pads), Omnisphere, guitars by Tom Anderson, Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, D'Angelico, Parker, Line6, Guitar Processors by Fractal Audio, Amplification by Mesa, Carvin, w/Celestion V30(!) |

Do you have a link to the retailer/model number of that 4 gb?
THanks,
