And here is some of the bad... Nintendo's new Dolphin System Memory scheduled for release in 2001...

DDR-II Ram allows for twice the data-transfer rate per clock cycle of standard SDR (single data rate) RAM found on the PS2 and Dreamcast. This increased bandwidth eliminates the data bottleneck accompanied by running polygon- and texture-crunching 3D games at resolutions beyond 1024x768. Dolphin games will have amazing frame rates and incredible high-resolution graphics.

Nintendo will not have to pay royalty fees to use NEC DDR-II Ram; this will help them release the Dolphin at a mass market price. Sony must pay royalty fees to Rambus for the RDRAM used in the PS2, which in turn is added into the retail price of the PS2.

The Dolphin's main system memory will be Dolphin exclusive custom NEC DDR-II running at 3.2-Gbyte/s throughput.
