The top PS3 has RAC of over 6,000 and has 4 CPU\'s. If we are all running the same \"computer\" how is this possible?

Thanks,

Tim

Because it\'s not a PS3. The PS3\'s CPU is an IBM chip that is used in other applications.

See this thread for information on IBM Blade Center, there are other systems that use the same Cell engine.
