You can do that, but registers aren't really what you would consider
ram. The 4 bit color ram doesn't particularly count either.

Try executing code stored there. Not only are they pretty crap at being
used as ram, you are preventing yourself using them for their intended
purpose too.

It's like stirring paint with a screw driver. You don't have a paint
stirer, you just have a ruined screwdriver.
