Yes, that's what I was trying to say DJ. Hard drive is faster than optical disc, but the GameCube and PS2 don't load stuff off the disc at the last instant. They load it into RAM ahead of time, just like the XBox does. I was just trying to point out that the hard drive really doesn't help push massive amounts of polys or anything like that, it's all about the RAM.
Now, continue your discussion on Halo. Oh, for the record, I didn't know what volumetric lighting was either. I just wanted to know if anybody did. :)
There's no such thing as volumetric light, as light does not have volume :)
Like say, volumetric Fog means the fog moves and swirls in reaction to movements... light doesn't do that.
