There is certainly a huge difference - but given that the NXT has RAM
and 'broad-side' Flash on-chip, the bulk of the flash only has to
function as backing storage...like a disk drive.

If the CPU were to be crippled by executing from a SD memory device, I think
you'd start complaining about the speed at that point.

You can page executable stuff into RAM as needed.

So how much does 32 bits wide of 64Mb of FLASH cost?

Dunno - but that's not what I'm suggesting.
