R2D2's memory capacity

Okay, I know that Star Wars is science fiction and that not everything in it is possible.

 

However, how much memory do you think R2 has?

 

I mean, the droid never had a memory wipe and it has been active since Episode 1. It's been recording everything since that time and doesn't show any signs of malfunctioning.

Well you would think that they would make a driod in the image of a human and as far as I know the human mind has millions of petabytes of information it can store and maybe even more. So I think R2 probley had about as much if not more. In real life though the actual machine they used only had probley enough memory to do the actions the programmers programed into it.

Taking into consideration the fact that the only wav files that work in him are toots and beeps, his AI is a recycled version of the Chessmaster and his motor functions consist of moving a wheel and rotating his head...

 

I judge his memory to be around 1.03 MB. (It's even lesser than a usual floppy :xp: )

From EU, R2 has had some memory wiped at a particluar time - I remember a book where he had gone bad and was actually trying to harm people by sabotaging things etc.

 

But there seems to be stuff that was buried in deep and locked out - of course - this was all the anakin/ROTS stuff - which Luke was only ableto access recently - I believe its what they call 'retconning' :D
