This is friggen scary...glad I only use hotmail as my junk box now....
"And a note to all you Hotmail users out there: READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE!!! Did you know that they own your emails? They can sell your emails? They can publish them without your permission? You relinquish all ownership of ANYTHING you email the second it hits a Hotmail server? I'm not sure if they changed it yet, everyone really went up in arms about it, but it used to be ther, you know..."
Oh yes...Microsoft "BUGS" begin to plague X-Box...Why isn't this surprising?
in-depth XBox/PS2 hardware comparision
We all know about Microsoft's announcement of the incredible XBox specifications.
It looks as if the XBox will be alot more powerful than any other next-gen console.
But is this really true? Let's take a closer look at the hardware of the XBox and PS2.
The CPU
Ofcourse, the Central Processing Unit, the heart of every computer or console. Most of
the calculations take place here. The XBox has a Intel Pentium(3?) processor which runs
at a clockspeed of 733MHz. That's alot higher than the 300MHz at which the PS2 CPU is
running. But does that make the CPU better? Nope.
Here's why the PS2 CPU (Emotion Engine) is alot more powerful:
-Data bus, cache memory as well as all registers are 128 bits on the PS2 CPU while the
XBox CPU is 32 bits.
-The 32MB of Direct Rambus DRAM are implemented on the CPU itself.
-It has a max. performance of 6.2GFLOPS while the XBox CPU can only do a bit over
3 GFLOPS.
-It incorporates two 64-bit integer units (IU) with a 128-bit SIMD multi-media command
unit, two independent floating point vector calculation units (VU0, VU1), an MPEG 2
decoder circuit (Image Processing Unit/IPU) and high performance DMA controllers.
what does this mean? It means that the PS2 can handle heavier physics and 3D
engines (and can do more accurate realistic visual effects like splashing water and
explosions). It also means that the PS2 can handle alot more sophisticated Artificial
Intelligence programming so that you have intelligent human-like opponents. The CPU also
has direct access to the main memory which speeds everything up quite a bit. And with a
floating point calculation performance of 6.2GFLOPS/second, the overall calculation
performance of this new CPU matches that of a super computer. This is a completely new
CPU architecture especially designed for sophisticated graphics and physics while the
architecture of the XBox CPU is pretty old and simple.
The Graphics Chip and VRAM
This is where the images are rendered. The XBox uses an Nvidia Graphics Processing
Unit running at 250MHz and the PS2 uses the Graphics Synthesizer running at 150MHz.
Again, judging by these specs the XBox looks better.
The XBox GPU has a few advantages over the PS2 GS, for example:
-The XBox GPU can do 125 million polygons while the PS2 GS can only do 75million polygons
-The XBox GPU has a max. resolution of 1920x1080 and the PS2 GS can do 1280x1024
The rest of the graphics chip will be comparable to NV-20 chip.
And of course, the argument continues further down the forum...

Have never seen more retarded whore in my entire life.
give me a call when you wipe the died up dust from your eyes. I could not even begin to imagine a more retarded whore as you. it is like the old west, when one imagines the dried up eye crud, one should than picture you as the mental, retarded pony behind his master (he-hawing) for attention at the drinnking hole.
I could have swore I met you in a backlley somewhere and you asked me for change.
Shut up you old no good, low rent, hen house, dirty rotten bastard.
Did you copy that from a book or something? I can't imagine you coming up with something like that on your own...
You're just pissed cause I didn't talk to you last night. I fell asleep moron...save your "change" and use it to buy a brain...
I'll talk to you tomorrow! Cliff says "Hi" again too! ;-)
