I don't know for certain what the max storage is because the largest I have is 2GB. (I don't have anything bigger because I the jump in price per GB isn't worth it yet.) The 2GB card worked, and I would bet a 4GB card would work as well. Since the PenCentra 130 has 2 slots, this means either 4GB or 8GB of storage. Also, it has 8MB of internal Flash storage.

The PenCentra came with 16MB of RAM. I've seen a 32MB RAM upgrade on Ebay for $50. This would bring the RAM up to 48MB. I don't think it's worth the cost. The idea behind the RAM upgrade is so you could install more programs. I install very little in RAM. Instead, I put it on the CF card.

P.S. You shouldn't buy it for PDF because I don't have it running yet.
