Raspberry Pi Gets 512MB Filling

Posted by samzenpus on from the bigger-and-better dept.

sfcrazy writes "Good (and bad) news for Raspberry Pi lovers, the Model B has been upgraded to 512MB RAM from 256MB. Bad news is for those who already got their Model B shipments because all those who have outstanding orders with either distributors will get the *upgraded* version of the device, means with 512MB RAM instead of 256MB. The upgraded devices should be arriving to customers from today onwards. Raspberry Pi team will be pushing a firmware upgrade soon so these news devices can detect and use the additional RAM."

    Hmm, I guess the alternative is to wait until just before the end of time to buy all your devices.

    (but you just know they have better devices in a parallel universe anyway)

    Even better, if you're buying at the end of time, pay with credit!
