I should let Andy speak for himself, but, I believe the answer is no -- earlier in the thread something made me think you were confusing RAM with memory on the SD card -- RAM is not on the SD card, it is "closer" to the CPU, on or near the motherboard. (I don't know whether an SOC (System on a Chip) includes the RAM on the chip -- if not, it is much closer, physically and electrically to the CPU than the SD card. > > If yes, then optimizing available SD card memory (e.g. 32GB or 64GB) > would yield different performance results, but that does not seem to be > the case! > > > What are you trying to achieve? > > I want to make up my mind whether I will have the time to use Teres-I > with redpill RC3 at work (i.e. in school). > > Thanks again! > > //Erik
