^^^Even though you guys are arguing, the tech you are mentioning being put into these games is interesting. The Wii has 4x the RAM of the GC?

From wikipedia:

Wii - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii#Technical_specifications:

Gamecube - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_GameCube#Technical_specifications:

  • 43 MB total non-unified RAM
  • 24 MB MoSys 1T-SRAM (codenamed "Splash") main system RAM. 324 MHz, 64-bit bus. 2.7 GB/s bandwidth.[8]
  • 3 MB embedded EDRAM within "Flipper"".[9]
    • 10.4 GB/s texture bandwidth (peak). 7.6 GB/s framebuffer bandwidth (peak). ~6.2 ns latency.[8]
  • 16 MB DRAM used as buffer for DVD drive and audio. 81 MHz, 8-bit bus. 81 MB/s bandwidth.[8]

 

 

Fixed that minor error. But it does show that while the Wii is more powerful, it's not simply a matter of increased power.

If you know first hand that there's an error in the specs you should contact wikipedia's people and request that it be fixed.

I think and correct me if I'm wrong. He is referring to the total RAM number. In the Gamecube specs, the 3MB of EDRAM is listed in the total making the total 43MB (24MB 1T-SRAM, 16MB PC100 A-RAM, 3MB EDRAM). In the Wii specs it is not making the total 88MB instead of 91MB (24MB 1T-SRAM, 64MB DDR3 RAM, 3MB EDRAM) which is the actual amount of RAM the hardware contains.
