I use the 4 GB boxes in my asterisk installations as we do a lot of processing 
in RAMdisk for non critical functions..  fast and saves the wear on the 
mSATA.the APU and APU2 boards have been a great replacement and upgrade once we 
ran the Soekris to its limit.-Christopher

 I use an APU2 with 4GB memory.... but only because I have a custom build of 
Astlinux with QEMU enabled, and I run a Ubuntu 16.04 server on the same box.  
May sound like overkill but it does give me a full featured Linux on which I 
can run other stuff.  I am using it for the Unifi controller s/w but you could 
let your imagination run wild.
I doubt that Astlinux on its own would need more than 2GB anytime soon.

Interesting question here Lonnie. Yes it $6 more than apu2c4 but $32 more than 
the apu2c2.

I know its hard to predict but do we see Astlinux needing more than 2G in the 
near or distant future?
2G is plenty at the moment but should I be future proofing?

    I just noticed a new PC Engines APU2 NIC x4 (apu4b4) board in their price 
list. Not yet available at this writing.

    New 4x NIC APU2
    http://pcengines.ch/apu4b4.htm

    Only $6 USD more than the 3x NIC apu2c4

    Though the apu4b4 uses the somewhat less expensive Intel i211AT NIC's 
instead of the i210AT in the apu2c4.  Doesn't really matter with AstLinux.

    In case you missed it, late 2017 they offer a 2x NIC board (apu2c0) for $99 
USD

    2x NIC APU2
