Commodore 64 system RAM: recorded figures
Metric Value Evidence Basis Method Source
Memory capacity memory 64 KiB Confirmed Vendor-rated Design capacity Stated by the vendor Dynamic RAM filling the whole sixteen-bit address space. Exactly 65 536 B: the manual's "64K" is a binary kilobyte. The ROM capacity is recorded separately and overlaps this address range rather than extending it, so the two must never be added.

Derived comparisons

65 536 B

Formula
a + b + … sum v1
Inputs
  • c64-system-ram Memory capacity: 64 KiB
Rounding
none , 5 significant digits

Adds 1 memory-capacity figure obtained by design-capacity. Left out: 20 KiB (read-only, so it is storage the machine reads from rather than memory it works in). A total is only as trustworthy as the decision about what belongs in it, so both the terms and the exclusions are named records.
