The first console game machine to sport 128-bit architecture, Sega's Dreamcast packed hardware normally found only in a powerful PC. It boasted a 200 MHz processor, a 64 channel audio chip and 26 megabytes of RAM, all dedicated to playing games. This computing power translated into faster, smoother and more detailed action on the screen. The Dreamcast also had a built-in 56K modem to capitalize on the surging popularity of online games.
