I've noticed from my own experience that the 68 model doesn't seem to utilize all of of it's 256MB RAM anyway but yes it's always nice to have more available RAM to buffer the data intensive activities.
Agree that the router os is very efficient with the ram, but I want the upgraded processor to have as much hardware supporting it as possible too.
In my own RT-AC68U I have disabled the 'regularly flush caches' option. The network has been significantly more responsive. Even as the ram use went up.
Have you read the post from sfx2000? The processor is not the only component that can bottleneck the router, the ram plays a large part too.
