1G/2G/4G versions. which to chose?
-
Is the difference between 1G/2G/4G versions appear to system RAM memmory size? I have 1.2.2 version and as far as I remember when I was installing there were no such options to chose then. So if my pFsense machine has 1GB ram I should chose version 1.2.3 1G for upgrade?
BTW. What would happen if I'd chose wrong version, had anyone tried it yet? -
It's the size of the CF card you are using, not the amount of memory in the machine. You can run a smaller image than the size of the CF card. This might provide longer service life if the card does proper wear leveling.

may I recommend a sticky of this as this is what I was looking for last night and wish this had been found a lot sooner on my end, this would have helped alot, and I think it may be useful for people in the future with similar questions.

I put a small entry in the Doc Wiki for this:
