I'm PC

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

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?

I should also point out that UAE runs like a nutter on said machine.

It's only a pity that there isn't a multi-threaded JIT (accompanied by a suitable Exec patch) such that the CPU emulation could run more than one ready-state AmigaOS thread (each one being executed by a host-native one) at once on multi-core hosts.

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.

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.

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 ;-)

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!

I didn't say it was suited, but if you stop and think about it, a collection of host native threads in the same address space can still run on multiple cores, right? That was my understanding at least.
