Some Questions about Specs

Ok, so I have only owned one PPC my whole life and that's the Apache. I used that thing to the max and I had a love/hate relationship with it. Mostly love though :P

I see that the Touch Pro has 4.5x the RAM as the Apache and a faster clock speed. I remember one of my greatest pet peeves was the sluggishness and the eventual crawl until I soft reset.

My question is, can we expect that the new TouchFlo interface is the reason for so much RAM. I don't plan on using TouchFlo and so do you think I'll free up a lot of memory if I disable it? Can it even be disabled, given it's embedded in the ROM?

My second question is about the video out and what we would perceive when it's connected to a screen? Will it just be VGA resolution output making it look grainy and blurry on higher resolution screens? Will we have the ability to use the audio output simultanously or will the video output monopolize that port?
