If you do, here is something interesting you could do with them. 16 Cells equals a pretty powerful supercomputer, apparently!

I wonder if he knows he can play games on them...

That's pretty crazy, but really gives you the idea of how powerful the PS3 really is.

I need 14 more and they don't mention what size ps3 it is (GB wise). Once the white one comes out make it 13 lol.

Why do they have such little ram? They don't even have a Gb, I'm not sure how a ps3 work compared to a computer but wouldn't it make it even faster?

Correct me if I am wrong, but Ram helps support how many programs a computer can run at once. So with a PS3, you're never really doing 2 things at once (downloading demo/playing game). So 1gb of Ram doesn't really seem necessary.

Sublime, you should try this with your PS3s. But of course, only using two. Just to see what it does.

RAM does primarily function how you said Kevin but it also does other things. The processor also contributes to how many programs (or processes) you can do simultaneously.

I think it's good that you can use the PS3 for such powerful computing, but people will start to get the idea it was designed for that purpose and then complain when it doesn't live up to expectations.

When they get bored with black holes and gravity, they could always have a COD4 LAN party.
