Ok. I own both a 360 and PS3 and I know you can download Windows onto the PS3 BUT my question is. Can you download Vista on the PS3 and if so wouuld I be able to play Crysis on it?! Because if i can, OMG lol I wont be leaving my house for months
Crysis = Vaporware...pics or it didn't happen........dude, if you want to do just to crysis.....get a badazzz amd/intel cpu, at least 2GIGGITYGIGGY's of RAM, and a ridiculous 8800 NVidia card
Why not?! Im not trying to troll or anything, i really am curious as to why it wouldnt work?! Because for one, I don't think the PS3 can run Vista (incompatibility), 2 the PS3 specs cannot run Crysis.

No. The only way to get Vista onto a PS3 would be to use software running on top of Linux to get Vista to install and run on the system. Chance of a game running in an OS being emulated on an OS not optimized for the system it's on - a system that has on 512mb of RAM and a graphics card that doesn't support DirectX? Absolutely 0%.

PS3 actually only has 256mb of ram so you couldn't even install Vista even if you could get it to somehow accept the installation disc Vista will give you a hardblock on anything with less than 512mb(or is it 384mb?) of system ram
The PS3 cannot run Windows due to its architecture: the Cell is PPC-based; Windows is an x86/x64 operating system. And even if you were to get Windows up and running, you wouldn't be able to play any 3D accelerated games due to there not being any drivers for the RSX.

PS3 has 512mb of RAM ...
But you are correct that Linux is locked out of GPU and GDDR3 RAM access ...
So would Crysis run -- yes ! Would it be playable -- nope ( unless u consider 0 - 1 FPS playable with system crashing ever 30 secs due or so )
In the end PS3 wouls need to give Linux access to RSX and the GDDR3 RAM with a optimised version of Linux running Crysis on minimum settings through emulation inorder to for Crysis to run reasonable ( and it will still likly be less than 30 FPS )

I wouldn't put it past the abilities of some of the best out there to find some way to create a virtual console to install Vista onto that tricks the system into believing it's running on a "Vista Ready" Intel PC. There real clincher to his question was "can I get Crysis running" and that's simply a no way. You'd be lucky to get Halo CE running on a PS3-Linux-Vista, let alone pushing a game that's meant to showcase the capabilities of DirectX 10. You want Crysis on the PS3? Hope it gets ported to the system. Endless layers of software emulation are ridiculously slow. The whole PS3-Linux movement is cool, but take PS3-Linux for what it is. It's a fun place for hackers to show off their programming skills, that's really it. You're far better off running Ubuntu on an inexpensive desktop if you really want to get into Linux for usability. For modern PC gaming, Windows, and a DirectX 9/10 graphics card continues to be the de-facto requirement.

PS3 has 512mb of RAM 512mb of combined ram 256mb of ram for the system 256mb of GDDR3 Vram nothing but graphics processing is capable of getting access to the 256mb of GDDR3 though :| so, like I said PS3 has only 256mb of ram
You're never going to be able to run Vista on the PS3. It's made for x86, not for the Cell. For that same reason you'd never be able to play any games made for the PC or any other platform.
Jezus christ... It isnt even possible atm to run N64/PS2 smoothly on a supercomputer with windows. Why? Cuz its hard to program. If thats the case, then forgot about crysis on the PS3 ROFL with vista...
[QUOTE="console_fanboy"]Jezus christ... It isnt even possible atm to run N64/PS2 smoothly on a supercomputer with windows. Why? Cuz its hard to program. If thats the case, then forgot about crysis on the PS3 ROFL with vista... N64 runs smoothly, but all last gen consoles still run like crap.

i reallyt wouldn't reccomwend it, youd need linx and probably a load of other stuff and if it did run it would probably just crash all the time.

I thought that some one got windows 95 working on there PS3 but then it was still and emulation from a linux based OS on the PS3?? i aint heard of Vista being loded on it?
[QUOTE="console_fanboy"]Jezus christ... It isnt even possible atm to run N64/PS2 smoothly on a supercomputer with windows. Why? Cuz its hard to program. If thats the case, then forgot about crysis on the PS3 ROFL with vista... N64 games run perfectly fine..so do many PS2 games with one particular emulator..many even see 100+ frames per second in FFX and a few other games, with dual-core processors.

once vista is on ps3 there wouild be no ram for anything else, vista needs 512mb ram to run and thats all ps3 memory gone.
