This article implies that the new kits have more memory than the old ones, but I don't think that's true. They always have had 1 GB, as I recall. If you don't have that extra memory, you can't run a debug version of your game, basically.

1GB DK's went live around March this year.

That's the new kit, but its just a redesign to my knowledge.

The old ones were monstrously large.  I don't think they had any less memory.

The platform holder’s new development and test kit (pictured) is fitted with twice the memory of the original.

Lol.  Believe what you will, bud.  I suppose the quote does state "of the original", which makes it true, technically.

 

IIRC the pre-release kits had 512 MB, because the 360 was originally slated to have 256MB RAM.  I don't think its been that way for a long long while though.
