This page might help you identify which one you've got:

Unfortunately, though, the terms don't seem too consistent.  I don't see any mention of "8MB" in the device chart for the Archos models... I'm sure there's someone else who can help you out...

All stock Archos Recorders have 2MB of RAM (working memory, if I can say so in English...) and the DeviceChart just shows that. You can only have "8MB memory" (RAM) if you have done a hardware mod or got a modded model.

The builds for the standard memory size will always work but will give you less runtime in case you have such a modded Recorder because the disk has to spin more often to refill the buffer. The 8MB builds will crash on a standard Recorder - similar to the Ipod Video with 32MB or 64MB RAM.
