[tor-relays] Question: RAM requirement for an exit relay

hey, 
partly related to original question: 
I'm planning to set up a new exit. My very first relay. I'm planning to use a small SoC with 2GB ram. Something running on ARM like a raspberry pi. 

Is this feasible or even a good idea?

Regards

Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free

Go for it,
