Okay, My friend can't accept known facts apparently. So he won't trust me that the Ps2 had less graphical power than the GCN. Can you all help me tell him that the GCN had more graphical capability?

the gamecube did have more power than the PS2, that's a fact. Just check the specs.

Could Someone give me some specs to shut this S.O.B up?

Show him RE4 on both platforms side by side, its easier. But the pics have to be from the exact same location.

Some people could say it's just one game. But most wouldn't.
Here's What I Got: PS2: CPU: 128-bit "Emotion Engine" clocked at 294 MHz GCN: CPU: PowerPC Gekko, 485 MHz Okay, does the fact that the GCN have a higher MHz mean better graphics?

I think you both need to go on dates. As quickly as possible.

Let me clarify. Not a date with each other. Separate dates. And soon.asmallchild
FOR CHRISTS SAKE. We both have extremely hot girlfriends...his especially...but we like to play VGs some times and we also like proving eachother wrong.

Ehh...not quite. The key to the GameCube's power is all in its GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and in its RAM. See, the PS2 had a very interesting and capable CPU, but in the long run its GPU was pretty weak. The GCN GPU, however, was quite nice in that it had 4 TEV's (Texture EnVironment engines). These TEV's were basically like the early Pixel Shaders you had on the GeForce video cards at time, in that they allowed developers to program them to some various math operations on each pixel as they were drawn to the screen. However the GCN did lack aproper Vertex Shader, instead using a fixed-function transform and lighting (T&L) pipeline similar to the PS2. The Flipper (as the GPU was called) also supported a lot of nice features in hardware that the PS2's Graphics Synthesizer didn't, such as bump-mapping and environment mapping. What's also notable is that althought the GCN really had less main memory than the PS2 (24MB vs. 32MB), the GCN's superior bandwidth made the memory more usable and effective in many situations.
Anyway if you really wanna sum that up, just say that the GCN had kick-ass GPU for the time. :P
LET ME CLARIFY THIS: PS2: CPU: 128-bit "Emotion Engine" clocked at 294 MHz GCN: CPU: PowerPC Gekko, 485 MHz Is the fact that the GCN has higher MHz mean it's got the better CPU?

You can find most of this on the Wikipedia articles for the Cube and PS2, but there's a really good article that anandtech did a long time ago.
