Even though people think they look great, the graphics quality of consoles
is nowhere near the quality of computers. This is because of a.) console

I've never seen a racing game on the computer match the speed of say

Need for Speed High Stakes is MUCH faster on the Xbox and PS2 than on

Pretty fast stuff.
Perhaps with the Ati Radeon 970
