And the PS3 has a total of 512 megs of memory. Rather weak.

360's total memory is 522 MB, that's so much more...

The EDRAM is special purpose on the 360, it's not main system RAM. Just like the RSX's cache, Cell cache and SPU local memory are seperate from main system RAM. Actually the size of this EDRAM is an important 360 bottleneck. Even with 720p with AA, data will constantly have to be moved back and forth impacting efficiency, this inefficiency goes up dramatically with higher resolutions.

Also the PS3's default harddrive can be used in a similar matter as PCs use the harddrive for virtual memory...
