The physical limit of the hardware is about 137 GB IIRC. So, nothing to worry
about. (this has been answered a few times before, btw... but because you're

The 8 MB is the on-board RAM chip on the Archos, not the amount of cache on
the hard disk. If you can handle the soldering iron very well, you can try to
upgrade your memory. If not, just use the 2 MB version.
