RPi with 512mb Memory?

wallarug

I just found this: http://au.element14.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-modb-512m/sbc-raspberry-pi-model-b-512mb/dp/2191863

 

Is this a raspberry pi with 512Mb RAM or is this a joke.

Parents

  • Good Morning,

     

    I ordered a Pi on Friday last (31/8). I noticed this morning that there is now 512 mB model, so I rang the 1300 no and spoke to a VERY helpful lady called Siri.

    She confirmed stock availability and as my order had not yet been processed she changed it for the new one.

    I paid the difference between the original invoice cost and the new price (ca $3.50).

     

    It now 11.40 am and she promised a Pi to my hands by close of trading today!!

     

    I have also checked out the prices for peripherals at Jaycar: HDMI to DVI cable is $25 as is the wireless dongle, So it is better to shop at element14.

     

    BTW I have a new apple iphone charfer which is rated at 1 A  5V; guess this will work with the pi when it arrives. Now looking for powered USB for it.

     

     

    Hope this helps,

    Can you show us this RPi when it arrives later today.  We need to confirm if there is a 512mb model in the wild.
