My experiences over the last 3 or so years with the BBB lead me to believe that if you're smart, the amount of memory this board has does not really matter. That is for example. I wrote an application in C that would read from the CANBUS, decode the data coming over that bus at 1Mbit/s, format it, and then send the decoded / formated data out over a websocket. All in all, this was 4 separate processes, working towards that end. 3 Of those process were used to read individual fastpacket 2000 PGN's. One unique PGN per process, while the fourth process was a web/websocket server written in C( using libmongoose ). All these processes were pretty busy, using up a a good bit of processor time if I let them. But the processes hardly ever used more than ~85MB ram unless I was doing some sort of "system maintenance" while these processes were running. Anyway, my point here is that I think that for most situations, you can use up half the BBB's RAM ( 256MB ), and still be in very good shape. But you can not be doing something silly like running a full blown desktop - At the same time.
