Aagh! Sorry, just seems like no one answers these oft-recurring questions
anymore.
A 2100 has 4MB of Flash RAM for storage, and 4MB of DRAM, like the RAM in
your PC or Mac. When you tap Extras->i->Memory Info, you'll see the
status of all of your stores, starting with Internal. Part of Internal is
used for the system, so that's why the used and free numbers won't add up.
The System RAM number is the amount of DRAM installed. It's all
automatically allocated and managed by the system, so unless you're doing
something like running four Waba VMs and Newt's Cape at the same time, you
don't need to worry about memory management at all.
