Just bought a used Fantom X7 and want to max out the ram. Has anyone tried installing ram that are more then 512mb?

I saw some on Ebay that are 16Gs.

I'm sure it takes the old unbuffered type known as DIMM. Think that stuff was mainly produced in 512 max with the odd 1gig stick here and there. i believe it's the same story with the Fantom G too.

Maybe you saw a memory "card", as a Compact Flash card , 16GB.
Not the DIMM RAM memory!
As I saw, somebody did use a 1GB RAM SDRAM to a fantom-xr.
But that's all.
16GB must be the CF card, and I believe that the maximum "read/write" will be 2GB.
I try with a 4GB and it didn't work.
So I use a 2GB and it was ok.
But 4 and 8 GB didn't work on my ex fantom-xr.

Do not ever be ashamed of what you are, what you feel, and what you think. The truth hurts, but it is necessary.

Would you believe I bought a 4gig flash card by Scandisk at Radio Shack. And it works perfect in my X6. Maybe it has something to do with brand name. Strange though. I've saved 3songs on it so far with no problems.

Geddy2112,
I think you are referring to the INTERNAL RAM, to maximize the sampling
In that case you can choose between 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1 GB DIMM Modules, please see below:

Memory module for expanding sample RAM on Roland sampling instruments. Type 168pin SDRAM DIMM, non-ECC, gold leads, unbuffered, 3.3 V. Available in 128, 256, 512 MB and 1 GB size.
