Nevertheless, without it I wouldn't be playing Fallout 3. That would be the greater tragedy, as far as I'm concerned ;-)

Without it you would've been playing it on yer miggy  8-)

But isn't fallout 3 also available on the PS3?

Yeah, but the difference is PC games usually scale up to the hardware. My gfx card alone has almost 1GB of RAM. I get to play it at a stupid resolution, with full anti aliasing, full HDR rendering, maximum detail for every setting and a draw distance that makes exploring any open world game a real treat.

What does any current console give you in that regard?

Well, the PS3 supports 1080P wich actually means a kinda resolution of 1920x1080 with progressive scan (say, VGA)
If I had the money, I'd go for the PS3, since one can easily transform it (There's an Ubuntu build for it, and it comes standard with USB ports) to a complete computer with a 7 core CPU.

You know full well that exec is totally unsuited to a multi-CPU environment... It's a problem we've been mulling over with AROS for a few years... The Amiga is a dinosaur!

At least the Amiga isn't based on the Commodore 64, yet this analogy still applies to the PC.

Microsoft isn't putting it's money for nothing on .NET. Everyone, and especially Intel, knows the adressing structure of x86 sucks balls (figuratively speaking of course, otherwise it'd not be bad). They all want to get rid of it, but they need it as well, to keep the compatibility advantage they have over their competition.
With the Xbox 360, Microsoft didn't need this compatibility so they chose not to use x86.

What, only 1080? Is that it? :lol:

It may give you 7 cores, but you can't use them effectively at all, the hardware is too proprietry.

Hm, I thought they were quite open with it

Or so I hoped, to be able to get a good computer quite cheaply. :-(

On the other hand, I have 4 CPU cores sharing 12MB of L2 cache and 192 GPU cores, all of which I can write C/C++ for directly ;-)

So, out from the megahertz myth into the core myth?
