Take "Oblivion" for example, that NEEDS 2GB on a PC....The PS3 seems to do quite well with only 256MB. (Much better example than nwn2)

o.O

Oblivion is designed for 512MB, you can tweak the settings to preload much larger amounts of memory, but no it doesn't need 2GB.

Actually win XP takes about 140MB, if you don't have all extra crap running. (However it doesn't beat linux, which can go as low as 70MB with gui(As you can see theres apache and stuff running, if shutdown those it will go down to 70MB). It takes 140MB when you have all necessary programs on. ^^)

Sorry to burst your dream bubble, but both consoles are less powerful than todays PC CPU:s. And optimizations are the ones that they use to compensate poor hardware.

True burt thats the point I'm making, WITHOUT the tweaking Oblivion will be a stuttering joke while is pages memory backwards and forwards with less than 1GB, and still hitch a fair amount with less than 2GB.

By doing what you suggested, it shows that these fairly basic tweaks can easily be applied by developers so that games like that can run smoothly with 512MB of RAM, at the expense of having more load points and that sort of thing.
