| Ail said: 4G would be useless. The only reason 4Gb is any good on PCs is that first Vista use a lot of memory, second you can run several applications at the same time and each can use up to 2Gb of ram... OS on Consoles are not memory hungry like Vista and you're not going to run 2 games at the same time.. And the maximum amount of memory a single application can use on 32 bits processors is 2Gb... So it won't be above 2Gb for the main memory. You have to add the graphics card memory to that though. But all in all my guess is it's going to be 2Gb total.. |
Tech Changes
The point of my thread was to see what people think future consoles will contain in terms of ram. Technology created tomorrow won't be the same as the kind we have today, and we won't know how it works until it's already made. The next set of consoles mite be using up alot more RAM than we can think of, we don't know. Could you imagine everything the ps3 has right now 5 years back??? Could you have imagine that a console would be released with a processor as strong as the Cell, and use an optical storage media with a maximum size of 100GB on a single disc in 2008??? [Both Hitachi and Pioneer have made 4layer BD's that can run on current BD players with nothing but a single firmware update needed... that includes the ps3.]
