We’ll that’s sorted and for $595, you can get your hands on the entry level model. The new C64 is powered by a Dual-core Intel Atom 525 and an NVIDIA Ion 2 chipset and comes with a 2GB of memory, expandable to a maximum of 4GB. On one end, is the media readers (DVD, flash cards) while the back has all the modern outputs like HDMI, DVI, VGA, USB, Ethernet, Audio – and even the IBM PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors.
