If this system was released in 1996 up against the N64, it would be better in some ways, but worse in others. The M2 would have had a CD-ROM drive.But slower CPU than the N64, the N64 could be upgraded to have 4MB RAM. Even though it was stuck with a 4KB video RAM cache. The M2 does look like it displays a lot of polygons in that racing demo. Textures are low res, framerate looks muddy. If it was released in 1997, the Dreamcast would have came out in 1998 with its 200MHz CPU, and 16MB system RAM, 8MB VRAM and DX5 tier GPU and smoked the M2. Was the M2 too min-maxed for its own good? 3DO should have been targeting the M2 for 1995.
