 ====== Nintendo GameCube ======
+Nintendo's followup to the Nintendo 64, and their first to use optical media. Releasing on November 18th, 2001 in North America, the GameCube's PowerPC 750CXe CPU, 24 MB of RAM, and 32-bit color depth at 640x480 was quite powerful but somewhat limited by the "Games-oriented" focus of the system. Nonetheless, it sold OK with plenty of great games, and it allowed Nintendo to develop the Wii, which ended up writing a completely different story for the company...

 === “GameCube (DOL-001)” (2001-2004?) ===
-**RECOMMENDED OVERALL; BEST RELIABILITY**
+//RECOMMENDED OVERALL; BEST RELIABILITY//
 The original, and the version with the superior features. On the top is power, reset, and drive open, plus the drive itself. Up front, there’s 4 controller ports and 2 memory slots. To the back is the DC in, plus both analogue and digital video outs. On the bottom, closer to the rear, is a “Hi Speed” port. Similarly on the bottom, but towards the front, is 2 serial ports near the corner. All three of these are meant to have removable plastic covers over their slots. These systems may have a drive laser which lasts longer, but it can rarely do wrong reads. Some DOL-001 systems from later on do NOT have the 2nd serial port, so be wary of that. Check both the back and bottom, which is good anyway (ensures the plastic port covers are there). Motherboard revs exist, but seemingly without impact.
