,,,imagine what it can do if the graphic card and ram were above 1 gig8
If the developer is really good it wouldn't make a difference. 256mb VRAM is enough to texture a 720p image roughly a 100 times at optimal resolution. Of course devs will not be able to always have the correct textures needed at a specific view in a specific view angle, so they often put everything they need for a whole level in the RAM. In this case more RAM and VRAM is sensible. But for really good developers the RAM/VRAM is more like a cache and the bandwidth the consoles have is amazing compared with for example PCs. And in this case its more than enough for everything you can throw against it. We will see much better games in the second half of this generation.
