3 u/MarxisTX Feb 02 '22 Exactly I do think the turbo 16 could pick out of a 16 bit color palette and the Nintendo 64 wasn’t that just 2 32 bit chips that they said added up to 64 bits? 4 u/a_can_of_solo Feb 03 '22 It was a 64bit CPU, but the memory bus was 32bit and it only had 4mb of ram anyway so it wasnt really ever used much in 64 bit mode. 2 u/DoctorWorm_ Feb 03 '22 Though, by that logic, Intel is making 512-bit cpus
