RE4 was scaled back for PS2 so it's simple fact. Get over it.
Bill we are talking about Graphics not sales figures...

WTF??? i am over it, i was mearly pointing out that your statement would trigger the fanboi's and turn this thread into a flame-a-thon.

ATI. Knows more than you do.
I'll ask this question again Bill - and it's important that you try to understand and answer it because your whole argument is based on a lack of understanding here. How many transistors are there in a single memory chip? Even better, when you look at a graphics cards how many transistors are there in total and what is the relative distribution of them across the board? Perhaps more to the point, if the Xenos chip was a standard PC GPU (ie. ROPs imbedded into the processing core and DDR-SDRAM was the local memory), how many transistors would be in the RAM?
"ROPs imbedded into the processing core and DDR-SDRAM was the local memory), how many transistors would be in the RAM?"
But X360 already has 512 of RAM!
It seems 2x/4x aa is not easy even with the EDRAM. But even if it was, would it be worth 95 million transistors? That's a second GPU!
Would ATI add 95m to a desktop GPU for free 2xaa? (and not even free)

Bill i can see were your coming from, that at this momnet in time the EDRAM looks like a complete watse, but would it not be better to wait for a few years and let Dev's get used to the EDRAM before any rants about how it's use'less start being shouted???
Time will tell

LOL
So? Do you want your PC graphics card constantly using the system RAM? Does the PS3 use system RAM for all its rendering? Does the PS2, PS1, XBox or GC do this?Bill said:
Okay, I'll spell it out to you, since you're clearly NOT getting it. DRAM contains transistors - therefore any local memory for the graphics chip will contain transistors. It doesn't matter whether it's EDRAM or DDR-SDRAM, transistors are going to be needed for local memory.

er...... Because Nivida did'nt want it??
Or was that a trick question??
Soooo...PS2 had eDRAM, XBox did not - and we all know who was the big winner sales last generation. According to your logic, surely having no eDRAM must suck as well. Tough choice, that one - either way XBox 360 is f***d...
