No one needs more than 640k.

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81. It had 1K of RAM. You're out of your mind suggesting I need up to 640 ZX-81 computers' worth of RAM. Silly bird.

My ZX-81 had FAST mode which clocked its Z-80 at 4 times the CoCo's MC6809E clock speed. I also bought the 16K expansion pack for it shortly after so I matched you in RAM and beat you in clock speed.

The earliest Z80s ran at 2.5MHz which was already 3x the clock speed of the 6809s 800kHz.

You could force the CoCo to go into overclock mode at the cost of the video. Bet you didn't have a floppy disk drive tho.
