(Kodi still runs absurdly well on only 512MB of RAM, BTW).

And xbmc4xbox still manages very nicely with 64MB.

Couple of things though...
1. I wonder if wetek decided to go with 2GB on the play2 at least in part for marketing (OMG only 1GB!!!) etc.

2. There does seem to be an advantage to 2GB at the moment if you're running an ELEC variant on a cheapo amlogic box. People with 1GB devices are reporting freezes / out of memory problems. That's down to bugs / software not optimised though.

3. (I lied) I have 32GB (and 1GB RAM) storage on my windows 10 tablet. Anything less than 32GB is clearly unacceptable in this day and age. Etc etc.
