My Commodore 64 is suffering from slowness and insufficiency of memory; and its display device is grievously short of pixels. Can anyone help?
I can give you 64K of memory to make it a Commodore 128, it will be just like brand new. I’ll throw in a disk drive so you can dump the cassettes, they are obsolete these days.
Leave your Commodore alone, this platform does not allow good scaling, even doubling RAM amount… I think it’s good time to upgrade to XT. You can even install another 8088 instead of 8087 co-processor. Dual-CPU system would allow greater throughput in multiuser environment. Yes, I know it demands bigger initial investment, but the ROI is guaranteed in no more than 2 years.
