Char! Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 I've been wondering: Just what DOES the 64 in N64 mean? It's been out for God knows how long and I JUST realized I didn't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fall Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Haven't you noticed the difference in the graphics between the N64 and other systems? The graphics a better apart from the GameCube, and PS2.... It means 64-bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 64 bit processor, like how the ps1 is 32 bit, ps2 128 bit, etc, n64 is 64 bit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tronix Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 And the Gameboy has 8-bit, and the Gameboy Advance has 32-bit.:whoops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 [SIZE=1]Well... Sega Master System- 8bit Nintendo Entertainment System- 8bit Sega Mega Drive- 16bit Nintendo Gameboy- 8bit Sega Saturn- 32bit Sony Playstation- 32bit Nintendo Gameboy Pocket- 8bit Nintendo 64- 64bit Nintendo Gameboy Colour- 8bit Sega Dreamcast- 128bit (I'm not sure, I think). Playstation 2- 128bit Nintendo Gameboy Advance- 32bit Microsoft Xbox- 32bit Nintendo Gamecube- 64bit The bit stands for "bitrate". And did you know that the PS2 was the only 128bit console out? I find it funny that the Xbox is 32bit (controls laughter).[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]Bitrate is bacically how fast it can process information at the most basic level...I think that X-box is considered 128 because it runs on 4 32-bit processors. But PS2 runs on a single 128 (emotion engine). Processes data much faster and more effciently when data is run through the processor...which means 300Mhz at 128 is a lot faster than say 700MHz at 32-bits.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoff119 Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 I'm pretty sure that the gcn is has a 128bit processor unless it has two 64s. To SG: the dreamcast does have a 128bit processor so your comment is incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm pretty sure the Gamecube is 64-bit. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
