No offence, but is that list of numbers really worth putting there?
Sure, a little cutting and pasting wouldn't have taken you long, but don't expect anyone to care/understand/read it/give you a free game for it, and if none of that doesn't happen, what's the point?

But still, stats mean nothing... after all, on paper the N64 is faster than the PSX which shold be able to push 1 million polygons.
In reality the N64's processor operates everything, whereas the PSX has specific graphics and texture chips. Also the PSX rarely gets beyond 300,000... EVER!
