Remember when Sony said the PS3 would render at 120 fps? Forget it, 240fps

@Groucho: Are you seriously telling us that PS3's OS/API doesn't take up any RAM?

 

Of course it takes up RAM.  Don't be so literal.  Do you believe that the flavor of Linux that the PS3 uses, eats up 25% of the PS3's RAM?  Or that Windows can be streamlined tighter than Linux can?

 

"It doesn't take up arbitrary memory resources." is misleading, that's all I'm saying.

Does PS3 run linux when games are running?? I thought linux was simply something they ported to the console for people to "play" with.

 

The PS3's OS is a custom version of Linux.  You can put your own Linux on it, as well, however.
