Korg says that loading Korg KSCs will not always use up the amount of RAM memory in the KSC. This is because some sample info actually goes to the SSD - don't know how much or how it works, but it would be interesting to find out?

See this thread, where you can look to see how much RAM each of the optional EXs libraries uses if loaded"

The cpu itself (Atom D510) is a 64bit capable processor. The Kronos uses a 32bit linux kernel. If I were to venture a guess, that would partially be because the effort involved porting all of the Korg specific software components to a 64bit system would have added too much cost/time to the development process.
This is why Korg only recommends you add 1GB of ram instead of 2GB - since a 32bit OS can only address so much, they probably didn't want to have to deal with the complaints of "where's all this extra ram I bought" from people who don't understand how 32bit memory architecture works. At least that's what I would do if I were in charge of the operation.

LOL atom is 64bit ))))))))))))))))
read plz
intel d520 mbo spec Processor
"Intel® Atom™ processor D510
Memory
Single channel DDR2 with two slots for 800/667 MHz memory support
Support for up to 4 GB maximum of system memory"
intel just announced first atom cpu for servers for 2013
that mean real x64 memory support (3,25+gb )
they only support x64bit code in software mode (atom is netbook cpu) |

this is an excellent thread.
Between saving $ ( and the exact ram details) on 1 meg of ram , plus the excellent install photos, you can't go wrong.
Thanks, Martin and everyone !

I have a question concerning the voltage of the RAM modules. Most modules have 1.8V specified in their Specs, but another one (Kingston HyperX blu - Memory - Kit 4 GB : 2 x 2 GB - DIMM 240-PIN - DDR2 - 800 MHz / PC2-6400 - CL5 - 1.85 V - unbuffered - non-ECC) has 1.85V specifed.
Does anyone know whether the small difference in voltage (1.8V or 1.85V) matters? |
