As for the dual screens, who really cares about that? How many people do you think will actually be setting up two monitors to run games? To consider that a selling point is absurd to me.
I still think that the PS3 will be the superior system in the end, unless any last minute cost cutting measures are made. But I also don't think it will be the end-all of gaming or even close to photo-realism.

I'm sorry but if NASA is built around 360's DUAL-CORE processor, not 3... then I highly doubt their Supercomputers are super at all..
Unless you do you research and find out that NASA's Columbia supercomputer has 10,240 Intel Itanium-2 chips racking up a whopping 36 teraflops.

The supercomputer, provided by SGI of Mountain View, Calif., consists of 20 tethered SGI 512-processor Altix systems. It runs a total of 10,240 Intel Itanium 2 processors and has 20T of memory. The system will use a 440T SGI InfiniteStorage storage area network.
