Now that my Clone SixtyFour is up and running, I decided to do a Vicky Twenty build. But I have a question, I know the factory stock Vic-20's came with 5K of RAM, and that the memory mapping would allow upto 8K before affecting how some software operates due to the memory map manager in the Kernal (thanks to the 8-Bit Guy for me knowing that), so my question is, would it be possible to just use 8k directly on the board without needing any mods to the board or Kernal, and if so, anyone recommend any drop in RAM chip replacements? I will have the expected RAM on hand since I ordered a parts kit, but I was just curious on this to do something to make this build a bit more custom and more my build that just a factory clone of the system. I am not to worried about breaking software either since most of what I use the Vic-20 is games on cartridges and a small handful of cassettes I own for it.
