One of the SE cells is disabled in PS3's. Not that big a deal really. What happens is they run a batch of processors, and if they come out perfect they go into batch A which become things like System z9 expansion boards. If they come out with one bad cell they go into batch PS3 and become gaming consoles. There is nothing else wrong with them, they just have that one bad cell disabled. That's all I mean by crippled. And as long as i already have it, I migth as well pick up a game or two errrr I mean applications for the purpose of testing proper operation, yeah...
