Yeah, well I'm not sure that is really a fair comparison. Celeron and its like
are much more general processors, and Celeron is far from ideally suited for
high-bandwidth video. I'm sure a similar speed advantage exists for video cards
with hardware accelerated FMV. Speaking from my innate wisdom only, but isn't
the PS2 processor a combination of general-purpose and video processor?
Anyway, the PS2 is indeed impressive. It's just that to me a console screams
"toy", whatever its processing power ;)
