"Revolution specs..?"

You've more then likly sread this somewhere already but...


Two 1.8ghz G5 based cpus
600mhz ATI gpu with 12mb onboard
128mb 1tsram
256mb dram

These specs came from What I hear are good sources, that where on the nail with 360 /PS3 info. If they are near the truth then it doesent sound that bad really (for the guts of it anyway). But one thing, if ATI have made that graphics part for consoles why isnt the 360 using it?

Hey guys I got these Revolution specs from a guy at Chomsky games! Check it out he says it's from the Rev Dev Kits Kev:

2x AMD NFX59 4800MHz modified 256bit CPU centred on a board with 4x surrounding slave PPUs at 2700MHz each
1x ATI Crossfire 9200 GPU core clocked at 1200MHz with 48 pixel pipelines and 20 vertex pipelines and 15 unified pipes, directly linked to the CPU array by a 40GB/sec pipe
40GB multi-purpose 1T SRAM arranged in a circle around the processor
ICEQ liquid gas cooling systems
33 flashing LEDs
1" LCD screen readout with core temperature and load level

It will come in at under £200

I laughed exactly 0 times.

COOL!.....Does it come in blue?

Oh wait I forgot to add that instead of RAM it'll be using Virtual RAM from the HardDrive! What a good idea! Huh, Hedfix?

No idea, I was replying to Memo's post about a certain non-funny post that was made earlier.

Yours wasn't funny either though.

Unless Gwizz was being serious... nah.

Incidentally if you're on about the program on my old RISC PC, I believe it did use the HD to keep programs in limbo so more could run or something.

All computers do that, it's just a way with coping with a lack of physical memory. It is also a bad, bad way, because RAM is 1000+ times faster than a disk.

And when exactly was I trying to be funny?
I've read back and I'm at a complete loss.

Listen, merm, if you're too much of a child to figure it out I'm not going to tell you. Go back and read it over again you'll figure it out.

And you weren't trying to be funny.

Oh the ironing.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to be out in the real world.

But not in the limp-wristed gerrid way.
