Xbox World to reveal next-gen details in new issue - Report

@hadlee73 @y3ivan LoL .. that's not what she said.

sigh.... I'm sad.

@y3ivan @jenovaschilld I'm glad I've never licked a heatpipe then :)

@jenovaschilld @hadlee73 and poisonous, those heatpipes usually contains mercury or some hazardous chemical in it.

@hadlee73 well at least water based. Sato chose the Hitachi SH4 CPU architecture and VideoLogic's PowerVR2 graphics processing unit, manufactured by the Japanese company NEC. "The first version of the Dreamcast was water-cooled; they had a non-moving part, water-based cooling system. It was called Dural," said former Charles Bellfield, former Sega VP of communications (1998-2000) and VP, strategy & corporate affairs (2000-2003)."

Still pretty cool.

@y3ivan @eyeball2452 No leakage these days, although my earlier days of experimenting with water cooling wasn't always successful :)

@hadlee73 @eyeball2452 hopefully there isnt any leakage. Seriously dont expect regular consumers to use a radiator for the consoles, they are more likely to break it.

@Zloth2 @Dark_Arcitekt lol

@TheAgingGamer @Volgin @Lane_McNair @Bad_Ass_Dr_Funk @netter99 I personally hated win Vista if i am not mistaken didn't it eat 2 gigs of ram right off the top, before any application even started to run. Win 8 and 7 are much lighter buy vista. was a hog.

@PSYCHOV3N0M @Bad_Ass_Dr_Funk Yeah but name all the games that support 16gigs, or how many developers are making games towards users with 16gb.

@ispytheworld @Volgin @Lane_McNair @Bad_Ass_Dr_Funk @TheAgingGamer @netter99 i played crysis 1 with 1gb or ram. If i m not mistaken win7 uses up 256mb of ram. so that 744mb of ram left. Oh did i mention i had high end Graphics card.

@Volgin @Bad_Ass_Dr_Funk @TheAgingGamer @netter99 Skyrim does have an official HD texture pack. I have it installed.

@Volgin @Lane_McNair @Bad_Ass_Dr_Funk @netter99

The point is the OP said "you can't play games with 8 gb of RAM" and that is clearly not the case. 8GB of RAM will ensure that games start shipping with the higher resolution textures built in, but even the most advanced texture packs out there (which are only available for a select few titles) rarely require more than 8 gigs. But don't forget, your PC with 8GB of RAM is also using at least 512MB for the OS (probably more) not to mention what it is using for other background tasks. As I'm writing this, all I have open is Chrome, my firewall, the Dropbox client and the performance monitor, and I'm using 2.10 GB right there. 8 gigs should be enough for decent gaming, though I wouldn't want it to be any lower than that conisdering they'll stretch this cycle out for another 10 years probably.

@Volgin @Bad_Ass_Dr_Funk @TheAgingGamer @netter99 I've never actually checked how much RAM Skyrim was using with the HD pack. I guess I wouldn't have noticed it needing 8GB anyway though since that's what I have haha

@ispytheworld @Volgin @Lane_McNair @Bad_Ass_Dr_Funk @TheAgingGamer @netter99 I have not seen where Skyrim requires set 8gb of ram to run, oh well maybe some hd mods, like the poster said. But we are talking about a very niche need.

And hopefully this next console cycle will not linger about for 7 yrs like this one has.

@Volgin @Lane_McNair @Bad_Ass_Dr_Funk @TheAgingGamer @netter99 not true ... i can play crysis 2 smoothly on DX 11 with just 4 GB of Ram .... i have nvidia 680...

@Bad_Ass_Dr_Funk @TheAgingGamer @netter99 I don't think I've ever seen a game that needed more than 2 for itself. Maybe this will change that :D

@HonorOfGod @AlmostHaslem @thechuck11 @soulless4now if this will be beyond $300 i will wait again for 5-6 years before buying one :-(

@AlmostHaslem @thechuck11 @soulless4now nope $600 will never fly.

@AlmostHaslem @thechuck11 @soulless4now yeah 450 to 500 is what its going to be 350 never happen
