AHAH. PS1 Specs Are BAD!

The PSX has 5 processors running concurrently, similar to the Atari Jaguar. Then main processor is the powerful LSI R3000A 32 bit RISC processor (licensed from SGI), running at 33.8 Mhz. In addition to it, there is a 66 MIPS High-speed Matrix Processor for calculating 3D polygons, there is a graphics processor for displaying sprites (2D) at 60 frames a second, a sound processor for doing CD quality sound and a 80 MIPS Data Expansion Engine for decompressing graphics and sound data from the CD-ROM.
What does it all mean? Well, this machine is built for 3D!

Really I Never Thought That It Would Be This Slow!
Woow Just My Video Is Faster Than The PS Put Together

L.O.L I Guess your right. At the time it was the best, And it was around $300 when i got mine
