Nintendo 64

 

Nintendo 64  Whats now? Nintendo 64? This new great console by Nintendo has must to say on console gaming world.Its graphics has improve to 64 Bit and new sound systems. How bout look at the Tech Specs ?

 
 

Processors

      64-bit MIPS R4300 RISC CPU running at 93.75 Mhz (125
      MIPs) with true 64-bit data path and registers

      64-bit RISC "Reality Immersion" graphics co-processor running
      at 62.5 Mhz (100+ MFLOPS) with onboard rendering
      processor to handle textures, anti-aliasing, z-buffering

      Geometry engine provides support for hardware based shading,
      z-buffering, perspective correct texture mapping, tri-linear
      mip-mapping, anti-aliasing, 256-level alpha channel, LOD
      Management. Sprite effects include rotation, scaling,
      anti-aliasing, 256-level alpha channel effects.

      Overall, the Nintendo 64 is capable of rendering about 160,000
      polygons with all hardware features enabled.

 

Outputs

      256 x 224 pixel resolution (low-res); 640 x 480 pixel resolution
      (high-res) 32-bit RGBA pixel color frame buffer (21-bit color
      output)
 

Memory

      4 MB RAM (128K memory data path); Rambus DRAM
      memory subsystem allows theoretical transfers up to 563
      MB/second
 

Sound

      CD quality 16-bit stereo sound at 44.1 Khz maximum 100 PCM
      channels
 
 

64DD

 

Memory Capacity

 
       Approximately 64MB
       Sustained Data
 

Transfer Rate:

     Approximately 81 seconds for 64MB Compared to 437 seconds/64MB
   for normal speed CD-ROM)
 

Seek Time:

 
  About 75 ms (typical)
 

Motor Driving

       Time:
                          Less than 1.9 seconds
       Size:
                          Drive260mm (w) x 190mm (d) x
                          78.7mm (h) Combined with
                          65.5mm height of N64, both units
                          are 144.2mm high) disk: 101mm
                          (w)x103mm (d) x 10.2mm (h)
       Weight:
                          Drive: 1.6 kg Disk: 43g
 
  Data error correction feature is included. The disk is high density, double-sided     magnetic media.64MB read/writeable disk drive tentatively called the 64DD or
"Bulky" Drive. The drive will use disks similar to Iomega's ZIP disks (the drive
will be manufactured by ALPS), and will come with a 2MB RAM expansion pack.
The drive offers 150 ms seek time and a maximum 1MB/sec data transfer rate.
44MB of each disk will be read-only, with 20MB writable by the disk drive. The
Nintendo 64's decompression hardware will work with data from the 64DD.
