| KillerMan said: I really don't understand why MS and Sony included from the beginning so small amount of RAM to PS3 and X360. Common amount was 1Gb in PC's and it wasn't too expensive. |
Its cost/benefit ratio is poor.
The consoles would have had implemented:
- 16 512Mbit chips (expensive)
- 8 1Gbit chips (expensive/limited availability at launch
Also since they have a 128 bit bus, to take advantage of the extra ram they would have had to have implemented:
- 256bit bus (expensive)
- GDDR5 (Unavailable)
Tease.
