Graphically, the 360 has way more horspower than the PS3. But the PS3 has the beautiful Cell Processor. Unfortunately, it isn't economically viable for developers to cater to the wonders of the Cell processor unless it's MGS4. So PS3 owners get the wash over translations from 360/PC :( Nice thing is that they are fairly comparable graphically but PS3 tends to chug less because it has way more CPU horsepower. Personally, I love both platforms. I just wish there was more development that really showcased the massive potential of the PS3 :)
I've been overclocking for nearly 10 years. My first overclock was back in 1998 with an Intel Celeron 300A, that baby would overclock from a mere 300MHz to a WHOPPING 450MHz!!! May not sound like much today but that's a 50% increase in speed and that processor ran circles around it's Pentium II 300MHz counterpart that cost about 3x as much at that time. I've overclocked numerous machines for myself and friends over the years. I overclocked my Duron 700MHz to a whopping 1.0GHz around 2002 too!!! I own a P4 3.0C processor that's been running very comfortably at 3.75GHz on air for nearly 2 years and it's rock solid as the day I built it. I now run an AMD 64 4400+ at 2.42GHz on air as well which is 4800+ spec, also rock solid. The point I am trying to make is that overclocking is PERFECTLY SAFE if you just read and study this article and research your hardware purchases as well as learn to overclock safely. This article is awesome!! It gives complete newbies all the tools necessary to build an awesome system for a quarter of the price of an Alienware system. The Pentium D 805 is hands down the best bang for buck today. You can pick that up for $97 and it will do 4.1GHz with 2 cores, each with 1MB L2 Cache!!! That's nuts!!! My $500 AMD 4400+ has dropped to only $250 overnight! Another fine overclocker. There are numerous boards and resources out there and overclocking is WELL WORTH IT!!! Don't live in fear and ignorance. Most overclockers like myself are so excited to share their knowledge. Sarju is the man dudes, read his article and do a little research. There is no reason why any of you can't build yourself a cheap, solid screamer. The same goes for video cards. I ran my 6800GT at Ultra Specs on stock cooling! Now I run my SLI 7900GT's at 550MHz/1580MHz on stock cooling!!! Oblivion is so awesome with everything cranked up to max!! I remember when I was poor though. If I had no dough, I would get a Pentium D 805 with some DDR2 667, an SLI Mobo, a SATAII drive and a 7600GT. You can put that all together for about $500 and it's a rocket with headroom!! You can add a second card later on as well for SLI awesomeness. NO FEAR, JUST DO IT!!! G-G-G-GAMESPOT!!!!
