that problem had nothing whatsoever to do with the amount of ram installed.
Somebody posted that on Harmony Central a long time ago and it's never been
corrected. (and therefore I've had to answer the question thousands of 
times
:-(  

The thermal problem that occured in older oberheim echoplexes was fixed
about two years ago, and is not a problem now. For anyone who has an older
unit, fixing the problem is very easy and is explained in the echoplex faq
on the Looper's Delight site.
