*RAM: 64 kB
*VRam: 16 kB: There is no real dedicated VRAM, RAM banks can be used as VRAM, the Z80 is then put on wait state while the video circuit reads the RAM bank. Also it is possible to get an overscan mode : the video circuit would read more than one RAM bank, the displayable zone is something like 24K.
*[[Read-only memory|ROM]]: 32 kB
