Well I'm glad at least you get that point. It confuses me when people bring up the SPEs as if they're some sort of disadvantage.
I wonder how many PS3 game programmers ignore them completely? They don't have to be used and with an OS like MorphOS that only runs on one core these little sub units could be a neat way to off load tasks from the core processor.

Its a pity that this idea keeps getting nixed by the developers. The prospect just fires up the hacker lurking in the depths of my soul.
