Jim, re: <GSCUBE> I've discussed this in the past.

The article confirms my guess on the system.

As its name implies, GScube comes in a cube measuring 424 mm on a side. The cube consists of 16 sets of the EmotionEngine and Graphics Synthesizer, the two chips that power the Playstation2. Each set operates as a graphics-processing unit; the 16 units operate in parallel and a Pixel Manager merges the output of each.

The 50.3 GB's/s bandwidth is the summation of 16 sets of existing PSX2 technology.
It's an impressive rendering machine, and I think the professional content creators will flock to it. It may eventually use QRSL, but it will probably sell only in the thousands, at most.
