Line 126:

# The 26-pin GPIO connector is not assembled on the board. The end-user must purchase and solder a 13×2 [[pin header]] with 0.1-inch (2.54&nbsp;mm) spacing. The pin header can be either a straight pin header, mounted on either the bottom or the top, (to connect to a [[daughterboard]]) or it can be a right-angle shrouded box connector for use with a ribbon cable. <ref name="hq-qa" />

# At the moment [[RISC OS]] (shared source) is not yet supported, as it lacks essential drivers.<ref name="osnews risc os" />

# On the model B beta boards, 128&nbsp;MiB is currently allocated by default to the GPU.<ref> [http://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/oicyr/i_have_a_raspberry_pi_beta_board_ama/c3hj3n0 I have a raspberry pi beta board ama] </ref> The Nokia 701 also uses 128MiB for the Broadcom VideoCore IV.<ref> [http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/general-discussion/nokia-701-has-a-similar-broadcom-gpu Nokia 701 has a simmilarsimilar Broadcom gpu] </ref> The minimum amount of memory that can be allocated to the GPU is 32 MiB, but with a corresponding loss of multimedia performance, per page 6 of the datasheet.

# Level 2 Cache is 128 KiB, used primarily by the GPU, not the CPU, per page 6 of the datasheet.
