1GB RAM will work on OS 1.5

10 Aug 2010, 14:14

Anyone have any success with running 1GB of RAM on OS 1.5?

Roland referred me to http://oempcworld.com and I chatted with a guy there for a bit and he said he'd sold a 1GB to someone running 1.5 and they followed up and said it worked. He sent me the email the guy wrote. Anyway I thought it was worth the gamble, worse case scenario I get 512 a week later than I expected... it's worth a shot. I'll let you know in a few days.

Anyone here try this yet?

Kick ass... thanks for replying. Anyone know why Roland says 512mb is the limit for 1.5?

I really don't understand why this rumor started. There's already another thread about 1GB not working on 1.50. Maybe it has to do with the fact that some RAM modules don't work. But then, it's also the case with 512MB modules so it makes no sense.
Still, according to Roland.Com :

**1 GB DIMM is usable on system Ver. 1.20 or later. "Buffered (Registered)" type DIMM can not be used.

Hello to you all,
My question is this : which specific 1GB memory surely works with a Fantom G with V 1.50 ?.
I record a lot of audio tracks ( directly digital IN with a Motif Rack XS module and mic audio and guitars takes) along with the G8 midi tracks and 512 Mo memory is rapidly full.
So I must often make audio mix to free the ram and... ...it works fine ! But it will be much better , I think, to upgrade my G8 with 1GB memory.

Thanks for your answer.

You can choose any module for the memory type.
