It has 64K standard, but I may have expanded it beyond that (I believe you needed 128K to run CP/M, but I could be misremembering).

Do I sound like Bill Gates now? ;-)

No, I'm well aware that you only needed 64K to run most full versions of CP/M (there were of course versions of CP/M available for far less memory), but I think on the Model 4 for some reason you needed 128K. I'll have to double-check but I'm pretty sure I remember that being the case odd as it is.
