Though Xbox 360 requires modding or an official treatment by Microsoft in its firmware to add a client for distributed computing which is very unlikely, PS3 will be able to run it from day one on its Linux, and even an SPE-optimized version of a client may be available later.

PS3 has XDR-DRAM which is way faster than DDR2. GDDR3 for Xbox 360 UMA memory and PS3 VRAM is faster too.
For FFT, the Cell processor in PS3 performs 100 times faster than Pentium 4 in some tests, if properly configured.
Who, except for/. crowd, expects Microsoft adopts Linux for one of their strategic pieces? Windows has the HAL that can absorb hardware differences, so there's no room for Linux and the like.

No way. PPC970 has out-of-order execution while Xbox360 CPU is in-order, so PPC970 is generally faster to execute most applications. Xbox360 CPU may be faster only when it's clocked significantly higher than PPC970 or when it has fatter SIMD (AltiVec) registers.

Please rename a GAME ROM to ROM.GB and put it to the same folder as EBOOT.PBP. In the firm only version 1.00, operation is confirmed. Please enjoy it!!!

Does it have a countermeasure against 'semantic spam'?

it run Longhorn?
>The Xbox 360, however, will be little changed.
I can't help laughing out loud.
Even XBOX 1 was hyped as a machine that can render toy story graphics.
And "Raven" prerendered demo for XBOX 1.
Yes, XBOX 360 is hyped too.
Most European friends say meh to XBOX 360 apparently.

will it take until it becomes something that can be used as easily as an web browser?

I trust Netcraft more for the matter like this.
Nintendo has never attended the TGS because the show was originally started by SEGA.
Sorry I prefer Monkey Boy.
Can someone explain me what importance this "Press the Buttons" blog carries. Thanks in advance

It's opened in 2001 and not fixed as of now. There are those who argue that a fix is implemented as an extension, which I don't agree to.

LOL. Do you have a clue on what you are talking about? PSP can connect internet via its wireless infrastructure mode.

Do you know what the "streaming" technology is?
sanctions on this kind of behaviour, like locking those related out of a board for several years?
