The 512K of RAM is definitely a consideration if you have a stock 2mb
machine. If you have a machine with 6mb, though, the fact that RAM runs
faster than ROM might enter into your equation.

As for 2.0 being trashed by run-away programs, nada. The only thing
possibly getting trashed would be your MMU translation tables. Remember,
MMU's have the ability to map pages read-only... and the ROM space
certainly applies.
