for something yes, ram is always an issue :)

postgresql is not memory hungry as mariadb or mysql oracle crap

what is it used for ?, i know many friends have pi's, just not what its used
for yet, if it was comal programming it would be overkill :)

yes its good that good computers begin to be less power hungry in a world of
climachanges problems, i have a old quad pentium 2 that have less bogomips then
a rpi 2, and used servial 100 % more energi then the rpi 2

on top of that it have power pc cpu to the raid card, yark, more miss usage of
resources

it just looked nice on specs, 45 scsi 2 wide disk on a single pci port :)

bah
