==Expansion Pak==
The '''Expansion Pak''' consists of 4&nbsp;MB (megabytes) of random access memory (RAM) increasing the Nintendo 64 console's RAM from 4&nbsp;MB to 8&nbsp;MB of contiguous main memory. Originally designed to accompany the [[64DD]] disk drive expansion peripheral for its larger multimedia workstation applications, the Expansion Pak was launched separately in Q4 1998 and then bundled with the 64DD's delayed 1999 launch package. The Expansion Pak is installed in a port on top of the console and replaces the pre-installed Jumper Pak.
The Expansion Pak is required in order to run two cartridge games, ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', and ''[[Perfect Dark]]'' has limited gameplay options when the Expansion Pak is not present. Supporting games usually offer higher video resolutions or higher textures and/or higher color depth.
