Mouse and keyboard, dude. How else will you play an FPS? Mind you, they might put a mouse and keyboard on a console, but then you'd need desks for everyone.

the keybaord and mouse for the phantom gaing console is cool

but thats where the coolness ends. the rest of that system is lame sauce.

and as i recal, halo is a fps. a quite popular one at that.

Sony has two types of RAM, one physical and one VRAM.

Xbox360 from their spec page says: 512 MB of 700 MHz GDDR3 RAM.  The PS3's main RAM is 256 MB RAM running at 3.2Ghz.  When you have the processor running that fast and the RAM at that speed it can overcompensate for 256 RAM.

the second stick is video ram for the GPU. thats why you see it says at 700 mhz, which is what the Nvidia GPU speed is

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
