?
And no, it's not 64-bit. They put two 32-bit CPUs in it and called it 64.

Wikipedia wrote:Except for its narrower 32-bit system bus, the VR4300 retained the computational abilities of the more powerful 64-bit MIPS R4300i,[20] though software rarely took advantage of 64-bit data precision operations. N64 game-titles generally used faster (and more compact) 32-bit data-operations,[24] as these were sufficient to generate 3D-scene data for the console's RSP unit.
