As many have pointed out before. The PS3's memory architecture is the issue. it has only 256mb available to the CPU and 256mb available to GPU.
Niether can borrow from each other. Whereas a PC has alot more available. And the Cell is a long way behind current CPU's.

dood..... the system can use the XDR for graphics, just not the GDDR3 for the system, you've obviously read or remembered wrong.

There hasn't been a thread with essentially negative PS3 news in a while. He was just lurking in the shadows and pounced at the soonest opportunity to make the system not seem as good as it is lol

So answering his question with truth, is lurking ok.
Of course the PS3 version is gonna struggle next to the PC version.
PC architecture is far more advanced than PS3 4 years into PS3 life in 'all' areas.
I merely helped him to understand it's the lack of memory options on the console which is the issue.
Dont start a flamewar.

but cell dusn't give more memory?

No. Cell is just the CPU. Which is useless without memory. You could have a CPU 100 times more powerful than the Cell, but if it had the same memory it would be totally pointless.
Think of a place where mail is sorted.
CPU = Sorting office
Ram = Postboxes.
The sorting office ( CPU ) cannot do anything unless it recieves letters ( information ) from the postboxes ( Ram ).
Thats why when building a PC a CPU isnt the most integral part. Of course it's very important for efficiency. But then a great CPU is useless without a good ram space and speed.
