    The PS2 had full 128 bits DMA bus, and full 128 bits registers. IIRC Dreamcast too.

      Contrary to some misconceptions, these SIMD capabilities did not amount to the processor being “128-bit”, as neither the memory addresses nor the integers themselves were 128-bit, only the shared SIMD/integer registers

        OP’s question is very vague. I would argue that the PS2 was indeed capable of “128 bits computing”, even if it isn’t technically a 128 bits computer.

        I’m also pretty sure the comment was tongue in cheek.
