The cheapest solution is to connect the modem to your PC and using a second NIC and a crossover cable to connect the PC to the PS3 and use internet sharing.

is the extremely low ram usage.

i have 2GB of ram, and after boot up, it uses only 280MB lol

2GB for 7 (64bit) being the minimum is just shocking.

Windows XP only requires 64 MB ram. You're using 280 MB just to start up. Isn't that more shocking?

How can you compare requirements of software that is 8 years apart?

well this my 5 year of game pc i built. i upgraded the video card from a 7800gt to a 9800gtx + oc and trust me a card alone will make a massive changefiredrakes

no doubt except the 7800 GT was released less than 5 years ago.

So at the end of lets say 3 years I would start to have to run my computer on med settings.At the end of 5 years all I would have to do is upgrade certain parts to get back at max settings is that correct?

No after 3 years you have to upgrade the video card to keep playing new games at good (not max) settings and after 5 or 6 years the whole PC is pretty much obsolete for games.

However as computer hardware improves more slowly than in the past, you can get a good 3 years out of a new PC as long as the PC is relatively high-end to begin with.

That's hardly a reason. Windows memory usage depends on the amount of ram you have installed. the less ram you have, the less it will use.

Windows 7 runs fine with 2 GB ram (the minimal requireemnts are 1 GB ram btw). 2 GB is not exactly a lot of ram these days...

Any modern PC is better than a xbox360. It should be able to handle current games in 1080p without problems.

People should go out and travel a bit further than their doorstep to seejust about everything is based on what grows and walks on this earth.

What about the memory should I pay $50.00 more for 1333Mhz DDR3 vIGAMEIv

No if you pick the standard aurora system with the Ati 5870 and the 6 GB ram and you're all set for at least the next 3 years.

So let's see...$200,000 for what probably amounts to a few hours max in low orbit around the earth while having to stay strapped down in a seat inside unproven technology that could very well go disasterously wrong :|

WHERE DO I SIGN UP?! :D

It's actually just 5 minutes. Even if I had the money, I would never spend 200K for 5 minutes.
