PS3 launch details next week?

According to Mydrivers' source, COMPEQ will begin building printed circuit boards for PlayStation 3 in June or July - implying that the assembly of the console won't begin until mid-summer at the earliest, and making an autumn launch seem all the more likely.
Bad hardware question of the week is: Will success of PS3 hit Intel's multimedia ambitions with Conroe about the same time ? Add 800 MB DRAM memory request from Microsoft Vista to run an MP3 file. Is it a bit too clumsy, too complex, too expensive to be competitive with one multimedia console like PS3 is? But X86 is compatible architecture and Playstation is not. Well, was not.

Nintendo made big news last year with the news that its next-gen console, Revolution, would be able to download and play games from most of the company's past systems, including the NES, SNES and the Nintendo 64. A new report out this week suggests that Sony could be looking to do something similar for the PS3.
