Hello Inray,

You told about the ondie ram for buffering etc.. but how much ram is really delivered as standard when you buy the device out of the box.. I've heard 2 and 8 mb..

WHat i've heard is that they use 2 mb of ondie RAM , and if you plug in one simm (or 2) that 2 mb will be disabled, is that correct?

Other than the fact that it's rediculous 2 mb ! of ram) I think your right.. the korg triton has 16 mb at least. It's nto because the XV5080 is only a "sample player" that they should act as if no ram is needed, you can do some serious film scoring with a (for example) future srx concert card + Akai/roland s700 quality sample CD's.

I'm planning of buying a scsi cdrom + the full 128 mb of ram when my XV arrives
