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 upgr

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
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
