Just because it has 3 cores at 3.2 ghz doesn't mean much.
Architecture is more important.
Anyone who knows anything about computers sees this as common knowledge.
The 8800GTX is around 3-4x as powerful as a console.
The 8800gt came out in 2007 for only 200USD and was only slightly slower than an 8800gtx.
The console cpus are fairly weak and just about any old dual core will beat it. Even the Pentium D CPUs.

You don't say architecture, the xbox 360 has a locked, custom madeoperating system. Lol it's just the architecture that's so good on it . It can do a lot more with a lot less because only has to doa couple of things like playing games and playing movies and maybe some other stuff. It doesn't haveto manage any windows services,ever-changing registry, filetables,background runningprograms, multitasking and so on.The user has also no control over the operating system that makes it very stable.
And please stop selling lies. the8800 gt couldn't even touch the 8800 gtx it was only on par with xbox 360 graphics. And the 8800 gt only came out end 2007. With that price of the 8800 gt you could probably buy a cheap system that could match the x360 but i think 650$ is cutting it a little low , i would love to know which cpu and ram you got with that. By that time you only had to pay 220$for an xbox 360 with a harddrive. But i had mine also for a year so this discussion is useless.
anyway to prove my point about the power of the 8800 gt , the xbox graphics is between the hd 2900 pro and the x1900xt. Read this list and weep

Oh so that is why my 8800gt is running Devil May Cry 4 at 1920x1080 with 16xQCSAA at higher settings and the Xbox 360 is running is at lower settings and 1280x720 at 2xAA.
That is why the Xbox 360 is running Modern Warefare 2 at 1024x600 (2xAA) with medium settings and my 8800gt is running it at 1920x1080 max settings with 8xAA.
The 8800gt was only slightly weaker than an 8800gtx.
And I can OC mine to match an 8800gtx.
Please do more research.
I am running Crysis on an 8800gt and it looks like this.
Crysis can't even run on consoles.
No way you run those resoluitons with a 650$ pc from end 2007.
