The 128-Bit Emotion Engine is the first chip of its kind. No other
mass-market computer technology on the market comes close to its
power. In the PlayStation2, this chip is used as the workhorse of
the console. It processes all physics and math calculations. The PlayStation2 has a 128-Bit Emotion Engine. The 128-Bit part of
the title means that this chipset both processes information and
sends it over a 128-Bit bus (A Bus is the pathway between chips on
a circuit board. A wide bus carries more bits of information and is
thus faster than a narrower bus). You may think that your PC has a faster processor, but remember
that the Emotion Engine has inherently faster 128-Bit processing
and it is just a part of the overall PlayStation2 power. A small note for the really detail oriented: The reason that the
speed is 294.912 MHz, is that it must be a multiple of a required
processor speed that supports the DVD ROM operations.
* Dimensions: 301mm (W) x 178mm (H) x 78mm (D), (12" x 7" x 3"). * Weight: 2.1 kg (4 lbs. 10 oz.). * Media: PlayStation2 CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and PlayStation CD-ROM, CD
Audio
This means your PlayStation 2 will basically play all your old
PlayStation games (but not make them look any better), all music
CDs and all North American DVDs. * Interfaces: Controller Port (2)
These are the same as the controller ports on the current
PlayStation. * Interfaces: Memory Card Slot (2)
These slots are very similar to the ones on the original
PlayStation, except they support the new, faster transfer rate. * Interfaces: AV Multi Cable Output (1)
This is where you plug the cord that goes to the back of your
television. * Interfaces: Optical Digital Output (1)
This port will let you send data directly to a digital receiver.
This is perfect if you plan to plug your PlayStation into a DTS or
Dolby receiver and get perfect sound.
If you don't use digital output, your data will be converted to an
analog signal and then be converted back to digital at the
receiver. * Interfaces: USB Port (2)
USB enables you to connect any number of devices to your system
with a high-speed data link. * Interfaces: I.Link (IEEE1394) (1)
The IEEE139 port is known by two names: I.Link and for Mac owners,
FireWire - there are some minor differences between the two. This
high-data transfer port has the advantage of supplying (some) power
to devices that are connected. You can expect that an enormous
number of hardware devices will use this port including speakers,
printers, and other like devices. * Interfaces: Type III PCMCIA Card Slot.
This slot is a lot like a laptop's add-in slot. Here you will be
able to plug in a modem and eventually the connection for Sony's
planned broadband network and hard drive. Important Information:
