Where can I buy sampling RAM for the FX8?

30 Aug 2004, 11:53

Shortly my new FX8 will be delivered. Its coming with the standard 32meg RAM......but I want to max it out to 500+ megs. Ok, so where can I buy the RAM from? I want to buy official RAM...not some incompatible bs!

Any ideas on price ?

Thx guys/girls

Check out Fanzshop, he's a seller on Ebay:

Click "View seller's other items" to get current auctions for Fantom memory. I'm planning to buy from him when I'm ready to upgrade mine.l

Roland has no "official RAM". Follow the specs in your manual, buy from a reputable dealer with solid return policies, and you will be fine.

All brands of RAM are sourced from just a few fabs around the world. Even the most trusted name brand will occasionally feature a stick with bad timing or other issues.

The specs for the memory type the FX needs are in the manual and you can expect pretty much every conforming module to work. However I would just get it from a local computer shop with a good return policy. There is always a (very) small chance that a specific brand or type may not work with your Fantom.
