Well, okay, we've all heard about the system bandwidth problem and how the PS3 architecture "bottlenecks" the performance. My question is, how much bandwidth do we need? We've all heard the PS3 fanboi arguments about terabytes, but the reality is, we don't need 2.18 terabytes for the type of gaming we'll be doing. So, comparatively speaking, do we need that much bandwidth for gaming?

I basically know part of the answer (more bandwidth = no bottlenecking), but I'd like to solidify my answer, and I am sure others would like to know the answer to this question as well.
