mv8000 can be trick'd out up to 1.7ghz of ram and up to 160gigs hd space
mv8800 can only be stepped up to 512mb ram and up to 127 gigs of hd space. I have had 6 mv8000's in 5yrs.:cool:

I've heard stories of people freezing their mv's once you pass the 512mb limit.

I don't know who would. To be honest I still have the 128mb stock ram, and at max I use maybe 16mb with audio tracks and everything. It's about how you utilize your ram, not how much you have.

Great deal for an 8800, I'm gonna get another one real soon just cause they're so cheap and the mv is my main machine. Great back-up if my 8000 ever fails me. :D

Yea, def can pick one up around $800. Which is wild considering I bought my MV 8000 for $2000. just 5 years ago...I guess that's a long time? lol. :o
 
I started to scoop up a MV 8800 not long ago, they were super cheap, brand new
 
Here are some differences, on the 8800 you can save your mfx setting, 8000 you can not, zero crossing, some other menu changes, don't sleep on the floppie drive, never know when you will come a cross a stack floppies with sounds on them
 
no need to update unless something new has capabilities your current machine doesn't
