While MiB is technically correct by standards founded in 2008, MB is often used even when describing 1024 power units, and is found throughout official N64 and VR4300 documentation.

Line 1: The Expansion Pak consists of 4 ~~MiB~~MB (~~megabytes~~4,194,304 bytes) of random access memory (RAM)—which is [[RDRAM]], the same type of memory used inside the console itself—increasing the Nintendo 64 console's RAM from 4 ~~MiB~~MB to 8 ~~MiB~~MB of contiguous main memory. It is installed in a port on top of the console and replaces the pre-installed [[Jumper Pak]], which is simply a RAMBUS terminator. The Expansion Pak is required for two retail games: ''Donkey Kong 64'' and ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.'' Some other games are capable of using the Expansion Pak if available, but do not require it.
