The specs do seem comparable to a PII, but there are mant little things u forget. Creating pixels to cover a TV and a small screen is vast. Many PSP screns can fit into a TV so less processing power is needed to cover a larger area. The best things its 128 bit bus. Most CPU's have 32bitbus and AMD Athlon64 has 64bit Bus, so to have 128, u can transport 4 times as much data at the same time to all areas. so bcos of this high speed, you need less ram to store the info, and the optical drive allows fast access to read the disk. the 333Mhz, may be slow in these daysbut the key behind the power is the 128 bit bus
