- I say get RAM. It's easier to use, you know you always have the full MEG.
- You don't have to think about it.
-
- With FLASH, you wan't be able to have more than 1MEG permanantly stored
- anyway, because you have to leave yourself with enough slack.
- With RAM you won't have the risk of misjudging your slack. FLASH is
- only good for a certain (largish) number of formats anyway.
