This is the 3DS's.. tech specifications.

• Two 266MHz ARM11 CPUs
• 133MHz GPU
• 4MBs of dedicated VRAM
• 64MBs of RAM
• 1.5GBs of flash storage

Are you impressed by the specs? I feel that the 1.5GB flash memory could have been more though.

No.
I'm not impressed at all, except for maybe the graphics card but that's about it.

I dont really care a lot about the specs, but I do care as long as the 3DS runs nicely.

Yes I am impressed.

2 processors at 266 mhz is more powerful than the GameCube...
4 MB of dedicated ram is enough for an 800 x 240 resolution.
GPU downclocked kind of made me go, "wtf..." but as mohdifikree said: "...as long as the 3DS runs nicely." I mean, we've already seen the graphics. We're impressed.

Downside, is they really wanted to do digital distribution and they give us a console with 1.5 GB...

Thought they would of learned with the Wii.

Oh well, if you have an SD card then you shouldn't really care anyway. :P I mean the original PSP didn't have internal memory.

we kind of have a thread on this
but im disapointed by it

if u make a mistake it could be fixed but make sure u fix it before its GAME OVER!

the storage is dissapointing, the gpu power is awesome, the cpu power is passable and ram is ok

PIRACY SUCKS!!!!!

No, no, no!

• One Marvell ARMADA 166 @ 800 MHz
• Maybe: Additionally, One ARM11 at 133 MHz
• Two DMP Pica 200 @ 200 or 400 MHz each
• 16 MB VRAM per GPU
• 64 MB main RAM
• 2-4GB internal flash

This is more satisfying right?

yeah I think its pretty freeking good!!

its better than the gamecube!!

the only thing thats gets my goat is the screen size, I think the low vertical resolution will annoy me.

but the rest is cool

Well, I'm satisfied. I mean think of it this way, the 3DS should cost around $200 now. If we went with CTR's specs, it'd cost at least $250. Like some people have pointed out, the graphics are good, it runs smoothly and its oodles better than the DSi (Yes I SAID OODLES!)

__________________

It would cost $250 if the year was 2008. I doubt that those IGN specs are true.

Why I everyone disapointed with 1.5 gb, I mean was anyone actually expecting 64 gb or something. Come on just buy an sd card.
More powerful than gamecube
yayz

Yeah I really dont find any issue with 1.5 GB storage considering
Gamesaves - 500 - 2000 Kb
Dsi Ware games 1 - 10 Mb
3DS Ware Games - 2 - 50 Mb
All System Information is put on a separate 512 MB storage the 1.5 GB is the whole amount of storage available

The lower vertical is because of the 3D-ness. It has to be double because of the two images that have to be displayed.

I thought It was lower Horizontal because the 800 x 240 becomes 400 x 240 for each eye -> The vertical resolution stays the same and does seem kinda low but at the same time it is still not that different than the PSP if you have checked out the specs

5:3 is easier for your eyes to "scan" than 16:9 at least.

In regards to the GPU, Nintendo having it put down to 133MHz means that it is the 2008 model.

40Million Polygons at 100 Mhz

There's other sites thinking that the PICA200 will have less than 15Million Polygons because it's running under 200Mhz.

Also a high processing speed takes up a lot of power, if it can do more calculations with less power then it's brilliant. That's what the ARM Cores are designed to do. And similarly the 08 PICA, it does a lot more at 100Mhz than what the 06 version would be able to do.

Anyway, the actually memory storage is 2GB, 0.5GB is used for the system OS (must be something better than the wii's since that only takes up 256MB), so if anyone was guessing 2GB your spot on.

Also 4GB and 8GB SD cards are very cheap. If I can get a 4GB Micro SD for less than $10 (the price I bought it for was ?5.93) then a standard SDHC card surely is cheaper, if people look around and not just go for a 3DS branded one

PSN: Strider_BZ

I have been trawling the net for screen shots and movies, and having seen in more detail I really don't think the resolution will bother me!

the reason I brought it up was because I used to get really annoyed when playing ds, becuase I could really make out every pixel (kind of made it hard to suspend disbelief) but having looked into it I'm starting to think that that had more to do withcrappy low rez textures.

the 3ds looks entirely stunning, can't wait.
and the memory doesn't really bother, I have about four sd cards knocking around my house somewhere!

I wish CTR's specs were real.... but I'm riding on the idea that IGN is wrong about everything except GPU (that looks pretty epic), and I couldn't care less (well, maybe I could) about memory, if Nintendo really wanted to they could let you download on SD cards.

I think they're right...even so, why does it matter if those are the specs, or the specs are 10x that? We've seen some of the beginning capabilities of it already, and the specs ain't changing. The graphics will improve, but only so much.

Remember Nintendo goes for the cheap stuff to make your consoles cheap. So well.. don't expect too high of their CPU and stuff.. but at least it's better right? (They should have given 3 GB.)
