That makes them fools because a full-blown PSX has "only" 2 megs.

Not I.  Tell these people to check out Ridge Racer or WipeOut XL.
Each level of these games is entirely memory resident.  Remember, any
game that uses Redbook audio has to load the entire level into memory,
because the CD is effectively lost to you while the audio is playing.
