Nintendo Wii 3MB Gpu Memory ?

[Oreo]

I have seen many system specs about the ATI Hollywood running the nintendo wii saying it has 3000mhz of GPU memory... is this not alot for a graphics card with half the power than most pc GPU's. I just dont see the point.

Thanks.

Ok Thanks. God knows were the 3000Mhz came from. 3MB a lot of memory for the graphics card ? arnt they usually less ?

God knows im tired i cant think straight.

compared to a pc graphics card 3mb is tiny! you have 128mb up to even 2 gigs on some extreme graphics cards. It helps a lot by loading textures into its memory rather than using the system memory to do its jobs.

if you mean memory clock speeds, 3000ghz is alot.....more then any vid card that comes to mind.

Yea the specs on the Wii are pretty low, but hey... The Wii wasn't ever designed to be a graphics monster anyway.

Here are the specs....

Though that stuff seems incredibly low... Game hardware is different to PC's in the fact all that stuff is directly dedicated to the game whereas a PC has a bunch of other stuff running and games aren't optimized for one specific product or processor usually.
