I'm about to buy more RAM and I'm curious about the 3Gb restriction.
Is this a hardware architectural limitation or is it just the current OS such that a future OS update might allow the full 4Gb?

Thanks,
D

It's an OS limitation, but don't assume it will be updated for the Kronos in a future OS (at least not in Kronos or Kronos X).

For that, a 64 bit OS (Linux) is needed and the chance for Korg upgrading the OS to a 64 instead of 32 bit OS is very unlikely. It's not just a matter of the OS but also drivers need to be updates normally.

Thanks --- so there really is no point in buying a 2G DIMM in anticipation of future access to the 4th Gb

Probably not, however I don't know Korg's future plans.
Maybe for the Kronos 2 or whatever, but then maybe some other type of RAM might be used.

I am selling a opened (but still new) Kingston chip compatible with Kronos. See the posting in the buy/sell section

Hello! Please let me know is this the one..:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001 ... 00_s00_i00

Today I installed 1GB extra RAM and everything worked OK.

The 2GB RAM that already was in my Kronos was a SanMax:



And I installed a 1 GB Kingston KHX6400D2B1/1G:

I have a question from those who have actually installed one pair of 2 GB each RAM sticks for a total of 4 GB. Are you actually seeing 3 GB in your info screen, or are you seeing 3.25 GB?

The reason i am asking this question is that I first installed one stick of 1 GB. I got 3 GB total. Worked with that for a few day. I had read somewhere that since the OS is 32 bit it reads 3.25 GB if you install 4 GB. So I got greedy and thought I like to have 3.25 GB. I ordered a 2 GB stick from eBay and installed it upon receiving, without looking at the capacity written on the stick. After I installed it, I noticed I still had 3 GB in the info screen and not 3.25 as I had expected. So now I am not sure if the 2 GB stick that I had bought from eBay may have been 1 GB instead of it and I had installed it without looking at it.

By the way, the reason I did not look at it is because I was too exited to install a SSD that I had bought as well. I was focused on the SSD and trying to find a SATA cable with the right length and my focus was not on the RAM. That's why I did not look to make sure of the capacity.

So I repeat my question from those who have actually installed one pair of 2 GB each RAM sticks for a total of 4 GB. Are you actually seeing 3 GB in your info screen, or are you seeing 3.25 GB?

Please let me know. Thanks.

Just installed this ram purchased from New Egg for $41 and it worked perfectly: Kingston 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model KVR800D2N6/2G

Total ram amount: 3.25gb

Also, cloned hard drive to 80gb which took a few attempts.

Upgraded to 2.1 and installed new CX-3 organ sounds.

My life is complete for a little while.

Just about to fire the gun on this -

Is it correct?

Dan

From version 1.6 onwards, you no longer see 3.25 Gb, only 3.00 Gb.

Yes Scooby, that module will work.

Thanks Francois

Will this one work?

Work are able to buy it for me - but through this company.
