Understood... it's an odd world after all.

I'm an overall glutton for processing power.  Had the PS3 been designed
differently I would have gotten that ATI card and stick that sucker
right in there.  Admittedly I'd be swapping out all kinds of hardware
replace the older platter drives with the new Solid State Drives but
I'd wait for this one which contains DDR.  Here's the article:

The capacity will grow, but the speed available now is fascinating.
If it were possible to have the same capacity of storage but at the
speeds of these SSDs - wow!  We won't have to wait long though, that's
the good news.  

Now... about opening up that PS3... my way...

think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of
music. ... I get most joy in life out of music."
