When I had an A2k as a teenager, I was amazed that the 6502* running my friends' C64s was just the keyboard controller of my very powerful machine :)

* Yes, technically the C64 had a 6510, but that didn't matter in this context

Don't fret about the 6510 - chip die shots show that the internal structure is essentially unchanged from the 6502 - they just added 6 GPIO pins, tristate address bus and a halt that works better.
