      @gorgar19 RAM size won't make a difference.

        I have no idea but have always subscribed to the idea that you get the most you can afford. it can't hurt.

          @bc320 I'm with you on this. With such a versatile machine like the Pi (any model) you don't know what you'll be using it some years into the future. Furthermore, Retropie runs on Linux which uses free memory to buffer I/O operations to speed up file access etc. You can see the memory allocation with the command free -h.
