ps2 only has 4mb of vram? wow, that isn't much. 
atleast it is vram (as opposed to SDRAM, etc),
which lets you read and write at the same time.
they must be storing a lot of texture info in 
system memory, and constantly swapping it in 
and out of video memory.

and the definitive answer to all the questions
posed earlier are:

Q: is sega going under?
A: No

Q: is sega going software only?
A: yes, except for their hardware division

Q: Will sega change it's name back to service games and start
making pinball machines again?
A: I HOPE SO

Q: will sonic show up on other platforms?
A: Well, he did show up on NGP, and i have seen some homemade
NES and SNES games which feature him, so maybe.

Q: does anybody know what they are talking about?
A: No

Q: why is the ps2 so expensive, and hard to get
A: because sony is smarter than the average consumer

Q: does that mean sony is smarter than the average bear, too?
A: No booboo, that title still belongs to yogi.

Q: why doesn't the US have legendary video game makers like miyamoto or
suzuki?
A: because john carmac is a dick.
