Title: Xbox 360 Will Have 512Mb Memory?
Post by: pstwo on April 13, 2005, 12:49:08 PM

512 MB?  :D

 
"During our continuing development with the Xenon (Xbox 360) we noticed some interesting information in the latest docs - most notibly about the memory.



The Xenon retail console will include 512 MB of UMA system memory. This is eight times the amount of memory that was available in the Xbox. The Xenon system software will still reserve six percent (32 MB) of total memory for system components, such as the visible features of the Xenon HUD, as well as the non-visible background system tasks.
 


Everything we have supports the Beta Hardware that will be shown at E3 - we hope to be able to support the Xbox\'s massive homebrew community well into the next few years - after all it\'s that same community that has helped to shape the Xbox\'s great success. "

This has been heavily rumored for the longest time now, coming from developers who can\'t keep their mouth shut.

bout time companies that make consoles gave them a good amount of main ram. Hopefully PS3 follows suit, sucks when the limitation on a console is from lack of main ram.

overkill, and too expensive.  512 should be more than enough for next gen.
