Technically it doesn't, but essentially it is a form of memory storage.
if so, that 'weak' hard drive allows you to play, and save progress on, much bigger games, that you couldn't possibly play on the GC or PS2, such as Morrowind (urgh) or KOTOR (whoo-hoo!).
Of course you realise that by the N64 using RAMBUS memory like the original Pentium 4's, it was never a console either then!
Which makes the Dreamcast the greatest console of all time!
Otherwise they could simply not run anything, they wouldn't do anything.
