RPi with 512mb Memory?

wallarug over 13 years ago

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.

Fergus,

many thanks.

I have found a really good series of tutorials by Cambridge uni for freshers (ie 1st year students) to introduce the concepts of operating systems and unix usin the pi.

I am new to using posts etc, so am unsure where to put thelink.

it is
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/freshers/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/

Apologies if it is in the wrong place. Please direct me to where it should be.

regards

I think @MorgaineDinova was running something relating to useful links. I don't know how to get in contact with her though.

Fergus,

I have purchased the following wifi dongle from dx.com at 1/3rd the cost;

http://dx.com/p/ep-n8508gs-ieee802-11b-g-n-150mbps-usb-wireless-network-adapter-dongle-black-94225

It works perfectly and can be installed with the script. Also if you use Raspbmc or Openelec it can be installed by using their Wifi Manager. I have ordered 2 more as I have 3 RPis.

See ya...........

Peter

The 512mb Raspberry Pi is still showing on the Element14 site.

Is this still antiapation of the Raspberry Pi 512mb model B or is this just another error? I think we could see a $50 Raspberry Pi on the shelves very soon, even before the end of November due to the advertsing that is taking place.

Also, what company advertises something when it doesn't exist. I think they must be making enough stock so that we don't end up with a back-log - like the Model B rev 1.0 (as they call it now).

Bring on the Model B 512!

I'd not be surprised based on previous precedent in regards to the secret veil MO from RPF, that sooner or later we'll find out that somebody got a board with 512MB.

The shipping date is in 4 days!!!! How reliable is this website? and how come it says from time of order to date shipped is 3 days?

Lets put the call out to see if anyone has a Raspberry Pi with 512Mb RAM.
