Bits for points (Aka a ridiculous excuse for another leaderboard)

Consoles and computers have always been defined as 8bit, 16bit, 64bit etc, here's a ridiculous idea for another thread but hey what the hell.

1) Post the name of a home computer or console and the number of bits it contained, if it's a bit unusual then provide a link to confirm it exists.

2) Only one post allowed until someone else has posted

3) To keep the scores smaller i have decided to divide all the bits by 4, (so under normal circumstances) a 16 bit console will net you 4 points

4) I'll run a leader board for this and edit it here

5) I can't take part, but will chip in occasionally with an update and maybe a bonus for the next poster, make it interesting

6) This thread is stupid but it may get interesting towards the end, scraping the barrel so to speak.

Cheating, two guesses, but no to either.
