Raspberry Pi question

[Michael Havens]

I am sorry to say that my Pi is likely a version 1 as I can find nowhere
that states it is a version 2. It is also likely because it was only 40
dollars after my 20 dollar cashback bonus from my discover card.

YOu mention that I should get other cards? Okay. But what should the
capacity of the card for Raspbmc be?

One final question: is this where you got your Raspbmc?
http://www.raspbmc.com/download/ I assume you just treat it like you would
install it onto a hard drive. Does that take care of the persistence as
well?
