it would need much more ram then that to tap out the cell, 2 gigs of a conventional memory pooled would have been better even if it was sharred would have cut down on cost, and made developing easier, though ames might have sloppier code.
consoles have always had the problem of sparring ram to keep cost down, this always ment the top end of the cpus would never come close to being met with to many cycles where the cpu is idle wating for data... this is compounded by the nature of the cell, which often needs to wait for some data to be done somewhere else before proceding on a new task, ram could work around this, by giving it more work to do while it waits, or decreasing calls for data that is not in the ram... HDs are better than disc media, but not better then ram
