Llorean:
CPU speed is a much more significant issue than RAM. Most Gameboy games requires less than 1/2MB of RAM and most of that is simply used for storing the ROM image anyway.

What is the CPU speed of the e200 or C200?Or even more Rockboxable players?

Llorean:
A flat mhz rating doesn't really tell you much either, since architectural differences can mean significant variance.

Applications

Perhaps the most common pieces of electronic equipment currently using this processor are:
iPod from Apple
Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance from Nintendo
Most of Nokia's mobile phone range.
Lego Mindstorms NXT
Audio processing in the SEGA Dreamcast
Sirius Satellite Radio receivers
iriver portable digital audio players (the H10 uses a chip with this processor)
Roomba 500 series from iRobot
PocketStation
Juice Box
The main CPU in Stern Pinball S.A.M System games.

Llorean:
Yes, so in a practical sense you should think of the phone as "2-3 times as fast as what we can reasonably get out of the Sansa, if not more"
