S3 won't even have 2d acceleration, which might be ok for resolutions like 800*600
CELL has 4GB/s pipe to framebuffer, or 480 fps with fullscreen 1920x1080@32 blit.
This is only a fraction of bandwidth. So 1 SPE can easily replace the 2d accelerator (in case if backbuffer is in Main RAM)
if you want an decent Linux Box, get an cheap old PC instead of an expensive new PS3
True, but with one little exception: i don't think PS3 is expensive. It is very cheap for the hardware it provides. I'm interested in CELL programming, so it is my platform of choice anyway.
Not to forget that almost all console games suck bad.
I have the opposite feelings
