I had a question regarding memory capacity on the A64+ units. Would it be possible to offer a 4GB DDR3 option for just a couple dollars more over the 2GB option? Our news team recently wrote a story about the Pine A64 and some of our readers have suggested that a 4GB A64+ option would make the device much more usable as a PC. This would also allow the device to make full use of the 64-bit memory address space.

Please let us know what you guys think. Looking forward to your response.

The highest DRAM capacity for Allwinner A64 chip is 3GB. If 3GB stil make sense to explore, we will check out on Fenruary time frame once clear up on Becker delivery.

I'm all for 3GB Even if it means another $10. Let's make this as powerful as it can be. If I wanted a cheap and weak Raspberry pi, I would have bought one. Wink

I would be interested in a board with 3GB of RAM.

I pledged for the 2gb board but would gladly pay a little more for 3gb.

I don't think 3gb RAM will be an option this time round for kickstarter backers - after all, it would be unfair for the early bird February backers only to be offered up to 2gb RAM, but backers after that got a choice of up to 3gb.

But maybe a future iteration of the board could support 3gb. 

As tkaiser says, 2gb RAM for a board like this is actually OK:

I will explore with Allwinner folks about 3GB board design on February time frame. The earliest of possible rolling out 3GB board will be around end of summer time. Our main focus now is preparing for KS delivery, work with open source community, and introducing add-on boards for DIY community.
