They never claimed that the Gamecube was a more powerful console than the Xbox, just that it had some advantages over it as the official specs also state, such as the Flipper's ability to do 8 textures per pass to the Xbox's 4 per pass, in addition to other points like the GC's specialized instruction set, better front side bus bandwidth and more cache. |
What? The origional Xbox could do 8 textures per pass maybe via loop back.

As for the Ram, The Xbox needs to use 16Mb of the 64Mb for just the Z-buffer, On the gamecube that's implemented in hardware at no cost, so the amount of memory each console has actually ends up very similar.
