R4 is an adapter for using microSD cards in the Nintendo DS. It comes bundled with a USB adapter for using microSD memory cards with a PC. If you already have a PC and a DS, then you only need to buy an R4 and a microSD memory card.

well really my question is to buy the slot 2 card with flash equipment or wait and buy it later. and what does it do?

The R4 is a slot-1 card. You can get a slot-2 card that fits in the GBA slot if you want. Both the same basic thing, and you don't need to have both in order to run homebrew equipment. If you get only a slot-2 card, you DO need a slot-1 NoPass device, but these are usually cheaper than actual slot-1 homebrew devices like the R4.
If GBA support and extra RAM for DSLinux use does not matter to you, then you will not need to get a slot-2 device at all after getting your R4.
