this process takes much longer when you have more ram.
also, when you do a cold boot the bios does a memory check (think of it as counting all the way up to Xmb's... alot of bios's have a "quick boot" feature where they skip this memory check, so in that sense ram doesnt play a big role...
it just isnt worth the money or time to put in more than 512mb of ram in a car pc... 256 is PLENTY... i'm tempted to move down to 128mb or even 64mb... haha... 10 second boot time would be awesome (right now im at like 34 sec)

I have a Sprint PPC-6700 Pocket PC, and I was thinking about pluggin in a Wi-Fi external hard drive to read off music and movies from it, but your setup beats the heck out of mine. Bravo!

Here's a question for you... How easy was the screen install into the dash? and is it reversable?
I have built many carPCs for people before, but never installed one myself and am really wanting to do it myself finally... I just don't want to risk screwing up my center console...
