    Game consoles use RAM more efficiently than PC's. PC's need a reserve of RAM to perform operations in the background for the operating system. For the most part, this isn't an issue for gaming consoles.

    It has enough.

    Yes, and it runs the RAM faster. You can run Crysis on medium settings maybe high if its optimized very well. You wount get Max setting though. Go to system wars man, we need smart poeple like you to put the fanboys in their place.

    Always remember that RAM is a substitue for use of the HDD because it is MUCH faster and efficent to move data around. The HDD is too slow. That is why you can set a marker on your HDD to act as RAM in the case of RAM running low.... in other words: virtual memory. It is easier to access memory at any time if you're accessing it from RAM instead of the HDD.
