The Nintendo Wii has 88 MB of main memory—about 0.088 GB in decimal units, or 0.086 GiB. That total is made up of 24 MB of MEM1 and 64 MB of MEM2.
How much RAM does the Wii have?
Nintendo’s Wii Graphics Primer lists 24 MB of internal MEM1 and 64 MB of external MEM2, for a total of 88 MB of main memory. Because 1 GB is 1,000 MB, 88 MB is 0.088 GB; using the binary unit GiB, it is approximately 0.086 GiB.
What are MEM1 and MEM2?
- MEM1: 24 MB of internal main memory.
- MEM2: 64 MB of external main memory.
Nintendo’s primer also lists 3 MB of graphics memory separately. It is not part of the stated 88 MB main-memory total, so it should not be silently added when answering how much RAM the Wii has. These figures are from Nintendo’s Wii Graphics Primer, version 1.1.0, released February 15, 2008.
Is the Wii’s 512 MB of flash memory RAM?
No. Nintendo lists 512 MB of internal flash memory for applications and data. Flash memory is storage, not RAM, so it does not change the Wii’s 88 MB main-memory figure. See Nintendo’s Wii Console Product Information.

Does the RAM amount vary by Wii model?
Nintendo’s support catalog lists manuals for Wii RVL-001, Wii RVL-101, and Wii mini RVL-201. The cited memory specifications do not compare configurations across these models, so they do not establish whether every revision has an identical memory arrangement. The model list is available on Nintendo Support’s Wii Manuals page.
