	The Atari 800XL replaced the earlier 800 model. One difference is that the 800XL is a single-board construction while the 800 had two internal boards and by 1983 that had become too costly to produce. The 800XL also came with 64KB of RAM (the 800 had 48KB of RAM), in addition to 24KB of ROM. The 600XL and 800XL models were the first Atari computers with BASIC in ROM.
