Why 640 thousand? You mean store and retrieve? Because 240 UTF-8 chars is 240*64= maximum just over 15 thousand bits.
-
It also equates 1 bit to 1 logic gate, which I'm not sure it's possible to create memory using that few gates unless it's read-only. All memory cell circuits I know of require at least 2 logic gates.
-
DRAM needs 1 transistor per cell, but it loses stored data quickly, and a crab-based computer would probably be too slow to update it.
-
Ah right. DRAM also requires a capacitor instead though, and I don't know how you'd represent that with crabs. Maybe it's possible.

Why 640 thousand?
It should be enough for anyone.
