I actually thought that it would be technically better than the PS2, boy was I wrong!!!

Hands up how many Nintendo fans tried to s**g off the PS2 for only having 4Mb of embedded VRAM for the Graphics synthesiser chip. Come on now don't be shy, oh well all of you may be interested enough to here that in an official interview on Gamespot ATI's VP of engineering announced that the Gamecube only has 3Mb of embedded VRAM, and it is no where near as fast as the PS2's DRDRAM, which runs at 800mghz and allows a much higher bandwidth in and out of the chip!!

Shame on you all, now apologize to Bonus, then go read the full interview at the address below!!

Mac is Crap... It even rhymes...

Although I was able to use one long enough to get the hang of it today and I was quite impressed. I don't like the mouse, but other than that, it was all pretty useable.

The CD drive is good, but if most of the games out don't work... which they don't... that sucks... which it does beause the games don't run on it so there.

Can you play 'games' on a Mac.. as in Rogue Spear etc... do you have to up-grade your Mac?

LOL

Well?

Trigger Happy seems to have some sense. Bonus it is a known fact that the GC does have superior graphical performance to a PS2, but what it really does come down to is the developers utilising it. When the GC comes out we will be able to compare first generation GC games against second generation PS2 games and see what looks better. My money is on the GC.
