 ### ESP32 board
 
-For ease of use, buy a "ESP32 DEVKIT DOIT" or "ESP32 NodeMCU Development Board" with an ESP32-S3 or ESP-WROOM-32 chipset on it.
+For ease of use, buy a "ESP32 DEVKIT DOIT" or "ESP32 NodeMCU Development Board"
+with an ESP32-S3 chipset on it, **with at least 8 MB of flash memory**.
+Preferrably, the ESP32 should also have some embedded PSRAM. Look out for
+labels like "N8R2", "N16R8", where the number after the N is the amount of
+flash in Megabytes, and the number after the R is the amount of PSRAM in
+Megabytes.
