Realistically, though, as long as the flashrom cart contains 512kb RAM, you'll be able to run 99% of the MSX's library of games from it, as VERY, VERY FEW GAMES have been made that require any more ROM space on a cartridge than that. Aside from a small handful of homebrew cartridge titles, I think there may be one or two Koei games, and that's it.
Some of the homebrew games that require more than 512kb ROM space, though, are definitely worth playing -- Sword of IANNA, for example, would require at least 720kb, but is one of the MSX's best homebrew titles.
But I'm sure relo999 is gonna buy the Sword of Ianna and not just copy it.
There is no problem in playing original software with only 64kb, except a few european 90' RPG's and demos.

Some problems occur when using the same SD card on MSX and PC. For example the long file names and hidden files. When you use a second SD card only to transfer files from the PC, you avoid these problems and some others.
For the RAM, it depends on your configuration, If you plan to buy a slot expander, it's probably better to buy a bigger expansion RAM separate.
