Hello,
I have a Raspberry PI model B with 512MB of RAM memory.
In my /boot/config.txt file I have the following settings for the GPU memory. I think they are the default settings.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
gpu_mem_512=316
gpu_mem_256=128
')
I am not using the Raspberry PI for doing anything graphical at all so I think that I could give the GPU less memory.
Not that my system is particularly RAM hungry, as you can see in my free output.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
mario@alarmpi> free -h ~
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 184M 135M 49M 320K 30M 72M
-/+ buffers/cache: 32M 152M
Swap: 511M 0B 511M
')
I just think that since I'm only running a few services and that I'm only connecting to the box via ssh it would be more beneficial to have more available RAM rather than more memory allocated to the GPU.
