I had a crazy idea. Builder boy wrote portal X to run at 9fps on a z80 running at 15mhz and with 24kB of ram.  Well the N-spire has 90mhz processor, 32MB of ram and an OS that is a million times more intelligent than the TI 84's. (nucleus itself not the TI front end) to put things in perspective the N-spires processor it clocked 18 times faster then the 84 and is a better architecture plus its 32 bit as opposed to 8 bit we are talking around 50 times the computational power of the 84 and over 1186 times the memory. with this kind of memory it should be possible to write a full 3d portal running at 30 fps interlaced. (because the screen is fine enough that it can be gotten away with)
To give a comparison the Nintendo DS has about the same if not less processor power, spread across to processors so there is extra overhead of coordination, then the N-spire and one 4mb of ram + 656k of video ram to the N-spires 32MB (including OS space). 3d rendering a physics are completely possible on the N-spire and portal is only a tiny bit of a strech

I'm just doing the official say hi thing so hi
