I began by asking Richard for his opinion on the Xbox 360 archtecture. �I�m really impressed,� he commented, �It�s way better than I would have expected at this point in the history of 3D graphics. The unified shader architecture alone is capable of giving a performance increase of a factor of nearly two over the hardware that we have in PCs today. That�s because we see many cases, and this is particularly true on consoles, where games are limited by one of the two groups of engines in the graphics chip, either the vertex engines or the pixel engines. With a unified pipeline we can now devote 100% of the hardware to which ever task is the bottleneck.� How does he think the sharing of memory between the graphics and the main memory will affect performance? Well, Richard explains that the shared memory is �Very different� from the technology implemented on the original Xbox, or even on today�s PC implementations. �The intelligent memory gives pretty awesome speed � the bandwidth is up to 2 Terabits per second. That kind of power is almost unimaginable. The old terminology of �SMA (Shared Memory Architecture)� simply doesn�t do justice to the flexibility and power of the Xbox 360. SMA is a term we have inherited from the PC and it usually has some negative connotations, but the Xbox 360 is really nothing like that.�

	So just like the first Xbox, Xbox 360 is going to be the same thing your using right now, a PC. A watered down PC. So the slogan for Xbox 360 should be like this ''Can't find a Playstation 3 because it is sold out or can't afford a new computer? Come buy our Crapbox 360...erm Water computer 360...oops i meant piece of shit 360...oh no i meant Xbox 1.5....oh crap um nevermind but anyways come buy your 360 today at your local stores such as EBgames, Wal Mart and Futureshop.
