Try to make it work with 32m of ram as well.

I also have one of these, altho it is a developer model with only 32m of ram.
I've been thinking of buying one of those fance expansions for it.
(One odd thing with the model I have, is that there is an audio recorder app,
but no microphone.)
However, I don't generally tinker with hardware(I'm a programmer). However, I
am a dpkg developer, so any patches it (archtable, mostly) can be integrated
quickly.

SD is just secure. You can still use the slot as an MMC device. SD is
faster(about 4 times, as I recall), but if you just need storage, it's
currently the only way to go.
