Is PS2 really more powerful than the Dreamcast?

But Dreamcast held its own light to Sony for sometime and really satisfied me.

Ain\'t that the truth.

Though on the 64/128 bit thing.. The DC\'s CPU is 64bit, while the graphics chip is 128bit.. I guess that\'s why SEGA can get away with calling it a 128bit machine. Technically though, the DC\'s processing power is from a 64bit CPU. Amazing system regardless, a pity more ppl didn\'t appreciate it.

- so whose god will f\'cking save me now?

now Dc is fading and ps2 is showing some second gen games (mgs2, FFX, DMC, GT3 etc) I see the graphicall gap between ps2 and DC betting bigger and bigger. Games like CT, F355 and SC impessed me a year ago but now they look nothing special

and yes ps2 is far superior to DC, have you played MGS2..great graphics with some occasional slowdown. Something DC will never match!

If you totally skip the Vector Units and you don\'t stream Textures,PS2 is a little more powerful than the DC in the overall aspect !
When you start to realize how to program Vu0 and Vu1 and how to stream Textures...you create Games like FFX,MGS2,Devil May Cry and GT3 that,hands down,are FAR technically superior than any DC Games!
...and I think that when Developers will push the PS2 at 100%...the old DC games will look like super-PSone games !

The 4th and 5th generation of PS2 games will show what I said in the last statement.

(The DC-library of games is Great,just now better than PS2\'s one,I\'m only arguing about Raw Power )

dont speak unless spoken to plz

What sexual position made the ugliest child?

Ask Bozco\'s mother.

Teacher says true beauty comes from the inside

Personally I thought the whole Idea of the DC blowing someone\'s **** is highly facinating, what do you call a person who makes love to a machine?

No problem.

You\'re still pathetic, though.

Going back on subject, what\'s all this talk of Dreamcast having more graphics memory than PS2 (4mb to 8mb) and ant-aliasing, which PS2 doesn\'t have in hardware...doesn\'t this mean Dreamcast\'s graphics will be better? Or does the PS2\'s processing power make up for it?

PS2 spec-wise is much more powerfull than DC but developers are having a hard time trying to find out how to use the PS2\'s power. There are some games that do look really good though.

PS2 is more powerfull than Dremcast because it has newer technology, end.
