the N64 had unified memory, so it was a (4MB-RD)RAM upgrade. it cost about £20 (i dont think thats cheap) and was very hard to find. only a few games required it (DK64, ZeldaMM,..) the 1st of which it shipped with. you probably know the N64 was not a very succesful console, but not due to the RAM.
anyway 1) this doesnt make sense now that RAM is so relatively cheap vs the entire cost of the console 2) yes the constant specs are definately a +ve of consoles that MS f**ks with at their peril.
now back on topic:
IMHO has botched the launch of the xbox2 by not including the HD-DVD-ROM, they should have waited a few months for this and several other things to be included.
