I ran across this page last night and figured it was worth posting. Looks like someone has done a fairly good job of documenting all the different PS3 revision and hardware basics. http://www.edepot.com/playstation3.html -hl718
That's a really nice page with nearly everything you wanted to know about the PS3 listed... the only thing that they didn't mention is the fact the PS3 does support VGA as you can use the VGA cable that came with the PS2 linux kit, but it only does 480p and the monitor must support sync on green :S
Humm.. Good page but it lacks some informations about the PS2 backward compatibility and PS3 models who have EE\GS builtin.
