The N64 WASN'T capable... The game came prepackaged with a RAM upgrade to handle the additional polygons
RAM helps with textures, not polygons.
Which might be the actual difference between these two. N64 tended to use a lot of gouraud shading instead of textures; that means a solid color with some brightness changes to simulate lighting. It had plenty of graphical horsepower to make things round-ish otherwise.
Laura Croft, on the other hand, has fully textured clothes, but the polygon count is limited.
