I notice that the Wii U has 4 RAM chips. That means that it is 512X4 as opposed to 1024X2 as I thought before. This means that the consoles houses RAM equivelent to 4 PS3/360s.

Now, being it that it resereves 1GB that would mean that it reserves 512X2.

Now here are the big questions. Does it support loading RAM in parrallel and what type of RAM is it?

If it loads in parralel then how much of an improvement would that be to loading and managing data? Also, it will more than likley free up one of the RAM chips for gaming in the future so how much would it benefit from loading to 3 chips at once?

If you look at any graphics card (with GDDR5 memory) or RAM sticks (with DDR3 mem.), you will notice that most of them use chips of 256 MB of capacity. Your asumption of 1 GB/chip was a bit... optimistic. And since we haven't seen the other side of the board we can't even be sure if WiiU uses 256 or 512 MB chips.

And any computer can acces their memory modules whenever it wants/needs.

The Wii U has 2 GB or RAM. It has 4 RAM chips. What more needs to be seen?
