I'm also thinking to do a database on it (if its possible).
So many aspects are talking for more memory.
Hope this helps.
Of course that does not help since we're talking about a tablet SoC not being able to address that much memory. For nearly everything the Pine A64 provides is the latter responsible: The A64 (Link to data sheet and so on)
This is neither a PC nor x86 but an energy efficient ARM board where many things work completely different. 2 GB are a lot of memory for such a board and since it comes with kernel 3.10 features like zRAM are available to make even more use of the physical memory. BTW: The memory bus is only 32-bit wide but given we're able to access the DRAM at 667/672 MHz that won't have that much impact.
