My step "up" from the Vic-20 was a 'Turbo XT' complete with turbo 4.77 to 10 Mhz switch on the case. CGA-RGB & CGA-Composite graphics. Not many games outside of AGI Sierra supported the composite that I owned...But Starflight was amazing. After that I played Wasteland. Even the crummy PC speaker sound couldn't detract from my pleasure and awe of those titles. No hard drive - and 2x 5 1/4" Low Density (256kb) disk drives. It came with 128 KB Ram - which I upgrades with individual chips to socket I believe to 512, might have gotten it up to 640KB. After that (A long time later) bought a Quantex P100. Now *that* was an upgrade...lol. Loved the Ensoniq Soundscape and the ATI Mach64 - I was in heaven...lol.
