You can, of course, plan to upgrade RAM
when-and-if you need it.
The same goes for BlueTooth: You may not need it now, and you can always add
it later if you need to, but it's nice to have it when you need it rather than
having to wait for delivery.

Anybody know what I can do to either:

or
2) Write the boot firmware to the SD card and configure it to get the rest of
