No, the N64 was named that because it had a 64bit CPU. 

It had 4MB of ram builtin, and the option of 4MB expansion.

(all 8 MB was rambus type ram I believe)

...

GameCube has 24MB 
N64 had 4 expandable to 8
PlayStation had 2MB (+1MB video and 512k sound ram)
PS2 has 32meg rambus
Xbox has 64meg unified

...the only thing it lacks that I'd like to have seen is a list of CPU
bitsizes. (N64 was a 64bit CPU... PS2 is a 128bit CPU... Xbox is a 32bit
CPU...
