Alan,

How can a PIII based machine hope to compare in performance to a parallel pair of 64 bit machines?

The fundamental mathematical operation required for high performance graphics is a 4x4 32 bit multiply/accumulate. This is available using the SIMD extensions on x86 processors.

In addition, X-box will use a high performance graphics engine, with lots of wide computational power of it's own. I believe that X-box will be higher performance than PS2.
