The PS3 Memory architecture bring many problems during PS3 life cicle.

It was especially the amount but yes, also the classic architecture.

I think that 512MB it's OK. But the architecture split que memory... This was not a good decision.

Yes, today we see this but keep in mind that many smart people designed the PS3. Sony-engineers, IBM-engineers and NVidia-engineers. Before the actual hardware is fixed many test-runs are made and then the one with the best results get more consideration. So I think they made a good and reasonable decision back then but it turned out to be not essentially better than unified memory.
