OK, I really want to know what my kids will say when i let them see what the games on the ps1 and 2 looked like. With processing speed and GPU speed that the PS3 has, it is really going to blur the lines between games and reality [well sooner or later]. Just look at what doom3 is like on todays ATI9700 hardware, and they anticipate that this will have a GPU that is much faster.What will be cool is if they decide to not only make it playback DVD but do MP3,and basic PVR[like a tivo] and email functions.
Anyway I found this a great read :

I wonder, if microsoft decides to keep its intel based processor for it's xbox if it will be able to compete the with "cell" architecture, and a 1024bit bus !!!,where did that come from, i can see with 64 and 128bit buses, but 1024, I really need to read just how they attained this.

I bet they are doing some tricks with a 128bit bus, by mutiplexing 8 independent 128bit buses , but how do they syncronize the data between buses [in the event i am correct], arrhh, forget it, I know nothing of electronics.
I have a real techie [nerd :-) ] electronics friend that i am going to try to get to answer this.
