Hello, I have two dual, 2g on order from Mouser. I have a pi, cubieboard and cubietruck that I test on. I am a professional AIX, Unix admin and I use these cheap dev boards to keep up with various Linux technologies/distros. I use IBM PowerHA at work and will be using the MB maxes to test out RHEL Clustering for my resume.<div>
<br></div><div>My take on the memory question is that many hobbyists who have the disposable income to drop a $100+ on a dev board would prob have the extra $20 to have the "biggest" one out...<span></span></div>

the original article posted on linuxgizmos quoted a dual-core with
2gb for $129, however that was reported incorrectly. the $129MSRP
was intended for a dual-core with 1gb of ram. unfortunately, it
never got corrected in the article and other news agencies
replicated the incorrect information. after feedback from early
adopters and distributors, it was determined that the dual-core with
2gb would be a higher demand item, so the first production boards
are all dual core with 2gb of ram with a MSRP of $139. we will have
options for you to purchase the dual-core with 1gb for $129
available from several distributors, as well several variations of
the dual-core speeds, and options for the quad-core. our biggest
question continues to be if we should introduce the quad-core with
2gb first, and then later a 4gb version, or the other way around.<br>
<br>
the distributors are given a "Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price"
for the products, however, as noted in the phase it is a
"suggestion", so a distributor can make their own decisions on what
price to sell at. we expect to see several distributors to retail
the boards AT or BELOW the MSRP...<br>

<div>Hi, I have a quick question about the pricing, hopefully
someone can answer…<br>
Why are the authorized distributors selling these boards for
higher-than-official price?<br>
Minnowboard.org still shows $139 for dual-core and if I recall
correctly, when the MAX was first announced, dual-core version
was advertised for $129...

<div name="quoted-content">a first production run has
already been shipped out to mouser and the pre-orders<br>
should be handled first before stock is shown. a second
production run starts on<br>
wednesday, with production runs following every two

the number of pre-orders, it is probably going to take
at least 2 or 3 weeks for<br>
all pre-orders to be filled...<br>
