So it has 96MB total system RAM? Probably 64MB for game data and 32MB for the OS/browser/wireless? I bet there's also dedicated memory pools on the GPU(s?).
Main RAM counts for other similarly classed consoles for comparison (not including flash memory)...
- Wii: 91MB (3MB GPU integrated, 24MB main, 64MB GDDR3)
- Xbox: 64MB (unified)
- PSP2000/3000/Go: 64MB (only 24MB allowed for game data, 8MB reserved for OS, 32MB for bkgd)
- GameCube: 43MB (3MB GPU integrated, 24MB main, 16MB "slow" ARAM)
- PlayStation 2: 36MB (32MB main, 4MB Video)
- PSP1000: 32MB (only 24MB allowed for game data, 8MB reserved for OS)
- Dreamcast: 26MB (16MB main, 8MB Video, 2MB Audio)
