    @ Southparkgtaca The average PC will not fold, the PS3 has a NVIDIA RSX which is equivalent to a 7600 GT is actually outside the bases. The average PC has more power than that. And when he speaks of his power, GFLOPS is what matters.

    @ MrPJJH PS3 is more powerful than the average PC, so overall the PS3 is better. If you want a computer to do better what we need a super computer of some riced up neckbeard computer nerd.

    I think you’re right. Too often in the nature of a plant or animal that can cause a particular disorder is located near a natural remedy for the affliction. Natural sense only if the cancer is man made there should be a natural remedy. If you are a man, that our fate is sealed.

    Now the PS3 is to save lives, this picture on the Xbox responsabilty, there would be disaster in the world is overheating of the Xbox couldnt ever get the value of work done. but I doubt they will find a cure for cancer. the cure for cancer already known, large pharmaceutical companies can not make money off of him because he can not obtain a patent for it, why ask because this is not a natural product by man.

    It’s a real idea just installed on my PS3 version and my PC’s processor (the GPU version is not YET suporrtet 5xxx series ATI) is very important when the PC is running and not fully utilized What better way to use the additional recources.

    If I can not wait until you are ready and capable of a PC. the cell functions of the PS3 in March. 2GHZ, but the chassis and build their supercomputer to run it in a little over 6 GHz. what is amazing to say the least. it would certainly expect that to happen, and I also work 3. 2GHz, RAM alone would be an incredible boost power for a desktop computer.

    Part-3 final. reason can be # 4 [of the PS3 has an advantage for the match DEV, because it uses Blu-ray can store large amounts of data more than old ones, which allows developers to create games more story content. when you look, the PlayStation 3 is truly ahead of the console market, is a remarkable piece of technology, although there were times I old Xbox out wasting time. haha all on the consumer. Ty for your time.

  22. fr34kaccident says:

    Part-2. reason may be # 3 [the RSX or reality synthesizer GPU only 256 MB available, but again this is not the real problem, because the GPU and CPU transfer rate ultra-fast bandwidth between them, This allows the CPU to gain weight on the GPU, but there is a failure, the RSX has only 32 pipelines dedicated, opposite the Xenos GPU 360, the Xenos can handle a load somewhat greater because he has 48 unified pipelines, which make it quicker to escape through the data. XD-3 is hang it bud.

    @ Fergoway2go, Please come back, and fresh. why some Demanding games remaining because it’s really a cell [is not yet fully exploited, and that does not show what you have, the game development is simply needed more time to complete use programs] -2 [RAM is not the case with 256 MB RAM, which may not look like much, but faster in the world of free RAM, clock speed running at three. 2ghz, faster than any other i] continue this discussion in part 2! XD.

    I know it’s one of those things that is new and poderosascreo used in rockets or somthingpero if the Cell processor is so powerful that they are still in some of the most demanding games? If you say it’s because of the low amount of RAM possible, because it is only about 500MB or Algol’m not ready to respond quickly

    @ Digitalph5, right 0mGItzAnINjA. Use the folding at home, you give the PS3, or Power PC to help them study the folding of molecules, which is actually quite simple when you think about it. However, studies of cost supercomputer at a price that day, and having to use so many that it would be impossible without taking this path, they decided to get this party going, which is a great help to people in need, I am proud to be donors, run a lot, anyway hope that helps.
