In Response To: Re: New Halo Computer: Poll Results (archon)

: Halo on the xbox uses 64mb of ram so why wouldn't 128-256mb be enough on
: PC/mac? The xbox has a slower card than the GF4Ti's, in addition to slower
: processor than the current fastest out there, although I forget what speed
: it is, I thought 700mhz.

Like I said, "I sincerely hope that 700MB RAM will be enough". I wasn't seriously suggesting you'd need a 2.5GHz processor. 700 MHz G3 might be enough, but remember all the "per pixel" stuff Matt talked about in updates. Hopefully all the fancy bump-mapping will be optional.

The XBox does have a 700MHz processor, but you forget that the unified memory makes it a LOT faster, not forgetting the fact that developers don't have to shoot for all sorts of hardware configs. If you know exactly what hardware the game will run on, you can make it a lot faster.
