Why did PS3 end up with only 256mb ram?

Does anyone here speak retard cause I cant get lemmings to understand both the PS3 and 360 have 512mbs of RAM.MGS9150

are you crazy? P$3 only has 32mb ram last I checked the spec sheetBerem

actually only 1mb and a 33mhz processor

Heh time for Gamespot to make a new forum and title it:

You don't even know what you mean. What you really mean is main RAM. Since when video RAM is unusable?

PS3 has 512MB of RAM.

The TC should be banned.

Why did they design it with a bottleneck like that?  Doesn't make sense.  At least the 360 was designed well with 512mb ram.zazoo4455

It didn't.

Whoo.

That was a hard one!

when Idling PCs will use anywhere from 200-350MB.cobrax25

yes in a pc that is the case but the ps3 was built so that the gpu can access the main ram as well

so i think u are the one that needs to get it straight

[QUOTE="Firelore29"]

PS3 has 256 mb of base ram. It has 256 mb of video memory.

To answer your question it's because they were trying to make the biggest waste of money possible.

i think for the os if you install one

I think everybodys retarded here even you, No one has brought up the fact that neither have 512mg of ram, Some of it gets takken up by the Os, And we know who wins that, Ms hands down, Also Sony dont know **** about hardware, You know it i know it and we all know that Ms know all the tricks and know how to milk everything to get the performace and know how to do it on a budget.

With the Ed ram which does all that fancy stuff at no cost with the extra ram the xbox 360 wins hands down and top quality multiplatform games will show the weakness in the ps3 lack of ram and the weaker gpu and easier to program and port games over cpu, Ms will make their own cpu for the next version or the xbox and i could see amd and intel follwing suit on their desgin because ms make the software and work with it over time and know what needs to be done, They will probaly make their on gpu and lower the costs of making the next console themselves and make it even better then the rest and make their hardware look like a joke.

ps3 has 512mb

lemmings are in denial about that

PS3 HAS 512MB AND CAN BE ACCESS ANY TIME... YOU PHAIL FANBOY! FAIL FAIL FAIL!

[QUOTE="azrealhk"]
There is no such thing as any game using 50/50 ratio or any specific ratio. It is likely a game on the 360 will use 300MB CPU and 212MB graphics,

That reasoning would work if the x360 had more memory, unfortunately it only has 512 total, giving it only 212 mb of video memory is sure to cause problems video wise, look at the pc market, most cards now a days have at least 256 mb of dedicated video memory, because any less will hurt the visuals. The lemmings have to face the fact that they cannot have better graphics than the PS3 if it has less memory devoted to video than the PS3 and the only true way it could do that is if it's pretty near 50/50 all the time

What MGS is saying is right

Your Gaming console's GPU and CPU need RAM

In PS3 its split in 2 banks, Why is that bad if both CPU and GPU need ram :roll:

Incase you didn't realise Some of PS3's graphical processing is done on Cell

So at the end of the day PS3 memory bank pool >>> 360s memory set up.

Good, you can respond to me:

That Alan Wake isn't on the PS3, probably has more to do with the fact that Microsoft is publishing Alan Wake than any particular memory issues.

Also can you explain why that, if GEOW cannot run on the PS3 due to memory issues, than how come UT2007 can? After all UT2007 will undoubtibly be more intensive memory wise than GEOW is.

lol 512 MB of ram is not a lot by any means. PCs have 4 times as much.cobrax25

at 4 times the price.

Wth?

Last time I checked Sony was a hardware giant but maybe I dreamt that.

Both should have had a gig.Riverwolf007

So very true.

This is correct. This thread is totally wasted.
