The mismatch between the Ancient Specs of Yore is kind of interesting. The Commodore 64 had 64KB of RAM, but that RAM was attached to an 8-bit, 1MHz CPU. This thing has call it half the RAM of a Commodore 64, but it's attached to a 32-bit 24MHz CPU the 1980s could only dream of. And it's disposable in 2025. Pretty impressive in a weird way.

It's got only 3KB of RAM, less than even the VIC-20.

Whoops, yes. I stand corrected. Tack another order of magnitude or so on to the mismatch.

Somewhat less than the NES, which had 2 KB work RAM and 2 KB VRAM.
