Specs is short for specifications. Here is dictionary.com's definition:A detailed, exact statement of particulars, especially a statement prescribing materials, dimensions, and quality of work for something to be built, installed, or manufactured. And according to TechTV's website (cause it popped up first on Google) here's the Gamecube's specs: Official name: Nintendo GameCube
MPU (microprocessor unit): IBM Power PC "Gekko" (The Gekko MPU integrates the power PC CPU into a custom, game-centric chip.)
Other: Real-time decompression of display list, HW motion compensation capability
The following sound-related functions are all incorporated into the System LSI:
Sound processor: custom Macronix 16-bit DSP
Instruction memory: 8KB RAM + 8KB ROM
Data memory: 8KB RAM + 4KB ROM
Clock frequency: 81 MHz
Maximum number of simultaneously produced sounds: ADPCM: 64CH
Sampling Frequency: 48 KHz
System floating-point arithmetic capability: 10.5 GFlops (peak) MPU, geometry engine, HW lighting total
Actual display capability: 6 million to 12 million polygons/second (display capability assuming actual game with complexity model, texture, etc.)
System main memory: 24MB sustainable latency 10 ns or lower (1T-SRAM)
A-Memory: 16MB (100 MHz DRAM)
Disc Drive: CAV (constant angular velocity) system average access time data transfer speed 16 MBps to 25 MBps 128MS
Media: 3 inch Nintendo GameCube Disc based on Matsushita's optical disk technology; approximately 1.5GB capacity
Now to finish off Raven in Metal Gear. Great game!

PLOYGONS = THE LITTLE SHAPES THAT MAKE UP THE BIG SHAPES

If you didn't know what any of it would mean, why did you ask? And I bet you think the xbox is so much more powerful because of the 700 to 486 mhz thing....

1st- I called him a jackass trying to be funny 2nd- thanx to those who helped 3rd- I don't think the Xbox is the best because I don't even know what the hell those numbers mean!! Seriously! I always thought gamecube was better because of metroid prime and zelda. Until i seen ninja gaiden, and how it was suppose to be the best.
