197 -**Yes, there are several points to keep in mind:**
198 -
199 -* The current unstable political and financial situation is affecting the components market and logistics.
200 -* This has been especially pronounced in the memory market — due to sharp price spikes, the cost of memory components (DDR3 eMMC) has increased up to 5 times.
201 -* As a result, the configuration had to be optimized: the eMMC capacity was reduced from 32 GB to 16 GB.
202 -* Prices are currently fixed based on quotes already received from Chinese manufacturers, but they may change in the future.
203 -* The first batch of DSP boards (the most expensive and critical component) is being assembled on a pre-order basis:

205 -1. Once registration closes, the total number of participants is finalized.
206 -1. An order is placed with the manufacturer for the remaining boards.
