"an updated FPGA that replicates the original C64 motherboard (not emulation)"
-
Commodore allocates the C64U's 128 MB of DDR2 RAM as 16 MB system RAM, 16 MB REU, 16 MB GeoRAM, and remaining memory as a RAM disk, alongside 16 MB of NOR flash.
"Memory: 128MB DDR2 RAM (16 MB system, 16 MB REU, 16 MB GeoRAM (soon), remaining MB RAM Disk), 16MB NOR flash"
-
The Starlight Edition includes SID-reactive LEDs in the case, keyboard, and power light, and uses what Commodore calls the world's first transparent keyboard PCB.
"It features SID chip-reactive LEDs (case, keyboard, power light*), the world's first transparent keyboard PCB*, original and modern creators' autographs etched in copper, and an updated FPGA that replicates the original C64 motherboard (not emulation)."
