Revolution tech specs Revealed

I found the official Revolution specs from Nintendo. Nintendo believes that high resolution graphics don’t need to be HD therefore reducing the manufacturing cost by one half. Revolution is 2.5x the polygon output of the Gamecube. The Hollywood is based on the same agriculture as the Gamecube. We know that Nintendo will have 104 MB of T1-SDRAM, 16 MB of EDRAM, and 512 MB of internal HDD space to store ROMs and gamesaves. Revolution will have some cut down version of an IBM dual core 64-bit processor. Media will be single and dual layer DVD. Nintendo technical team is working with the original ArtX engineers. ArtX worked with Nintendo to build the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube. We’ll have to see if Nintendo will package some free ROMs at retail! Hmm, the core system is expected to sell for $150 USD and games for $50 USD.
