It also appears a 2 GB APU2 NIC x4 may be offered as well (• DRAM: 2 or 4 GB DDR3-1333 DRAM).
So 2 GB vs. 4 GB RAM, that is the question. 2 GB is fine for AstLinux for the current and the foreseeable future, we try to reduce image bloat wherever we can. But, since the 2 GB boards are not upgradable, and could have a useful life for 4-6 years or more ... purchasing 4 GB boards has it merits. Tough call.
