ok, according to Xdome and my calculations, The Xbox is not that far from PS2 in graphics and gameplay terms, infact, it\'s not far at all. The fact that the Xbox uses a 733mhz chip makes up for ps2\'s 300 mhz chip when you consider that Xbox has NO Vram, instead, it uses a new technology to replace vram (i think it\'s w-buffering) which uses about 75% of the Xbox\'s MASSIVE 64 mb of standard ram and doing that also takes up most of the processor\'s time.
if dreamcast used the same graphics technology as ps2, it would dominate. Since the dreamcast has got 8 mb of vram + t&l technologies.
no arguments please and i should be able to reply to all your questions
