From what I've read, the PS3 is just as silent as the Wii. It seems the 360 is the 'loudest' console (though still barely audible in normal conditions).
Yes, Semiconductor Insights is located in Kanata, Ontario, Canada. And if you ask me, its you Yanks that talk funny!! PS) You can keep Celine Dion, we don't want her back!!!
NEC just manufactures the ATi graphics processor. As for the rest, the chips Nintendo used were pretty self-contained and didn't need a lot of external patch logic, which keeps the prices down so it's a very good thing.It's about as boring as tearing apart a calculator to see what's inside though...
My Xbox 360 is really loud. I'm beginning to think there's a loose fan or something because I can still hear it quite a bit even just in the dashboard. Playing a game makes it sound like a jet engine unfortunately.Oh well, I'm still willing to deal with it because of the great games.
If it was pronounced pro cessor wouldn't you have to have some sort of verb to elongnate the vowel sound? It's been a long time since I've had any sort of grammar but I figured that pro cessor would be spelled proacessor or proicessor.English has f**ked up pronunciation rules anyway.

Moderngeek:The cell is a powerpc-capable chip, but it's not just a standard powerpc processor. Not being a Cell chip developer, my guess is that a Cell could run code written for the powerpc, but a powerpc couldn't run stuff written for the cell.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(microprocessor)">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(microprocessor)</a>
