cell is basically just a regular processer like yoru Intel, AMD, etc.. so its the processor behind it and then Nvidia provided teh GPU. IF you search through these forums i posted a link to a great article talking about the Cell processor.
Also i am not sure where you got that quote about having 1 disabled? I know they will only have 7 SPE's and 1 other one. For the Cell in the Ps3 but a normal cell that they displayed or talked about has 8 SPE's .. I think they are only putting 7 in to make it a little cheaper in the Ps3. But i will attempt to find that Cell link again..
also elcoholic that gamespot site is very misleading.. they actually leave out some info on the Ps3..
for ethernet it will ahve RJ45x3 connections.. 1 externel, 2 internet GigE ports.. yes Ps3 will have Gigabit ethernet cards in it.. (Good thing i have a GigE router)
Also it fails to say that Each SPE will be at 3.2ghz so basially it will have
1 3.2ghz PPE and 7 3.2ghz SPE's..
also the Xbox 360 will have
3 3.2ghz Modified PowerPC G5's
so that site is very much lacking in the details department.. Its all very much interesting.. Also i read somewhere sony is looking at the Ps3 be no higher then
50,0000 Yen ~ 465USD
