Da News: Cell chips with everything

Wow, helluva undertaking there. IBM, Sony, and Toshiba all pooling their resources together and manage to pretty much upset the entire chip industry. But who cares? This is all about gaming.

I for one can't complain overmuch if my games run smoother with more of everything that's already here. I can only hope that one day, this'll be widespread enough that I might be able to afford an Athlon 64 PC. You know, just when all the stores are throwing them out. By then, all I'd really need is taxi fare. Or multiple bus tickets.

In any case, cool news and I hope that Microsoft slows down their Xbox 2 plans (damn them to hell! Barely a year from now, it'll come out, meaning less than a year since I got my Xbox. Curses!) to incorporate this tech as best they can. Hell, what MS does best is look at an existing product, absorb it into the Microsoft-Hive-Mind and churn out a bloated if workable product.

The damned Xbox 2 might be doing your taxes when it comes out.
