Yes, it will make a difference for any USB attached storage - as will the processor that is used will make a difference too.

You're right (I thought the spec's were 'actual').
I am leaning towards Tim's guesses though; even if it has 256MB on board doesn't mean it is all enabled.
If you weren't using the USB storage option then the RAM shouldn't matter - it may though if you were using VPN, QoS or other processor and memory intense uses.
I've seen comments saying this has 128mb ram and others saying its 256mb - does anyone know the answer and will it matter if I am not using it for cloud/media storage?
Personally i would stay away from Dlink. Their firmware development is a disaster at best, unless they stopped screwing around and got their act together over the years.
I was encouraged that Dlink had a few 2014 beta firmware builds available... of the r6250 or refurbished ea6500, what would you recommend?
