ya, u could play some simple pc games, but anything that needs a fast cpu and especially accelerated graphix would be SOL, because:

1. Sony/Nvidia did not release the accelerated graphix drivers to Terrasoft yet
2. Much of the PS3 resources are spent on the emulation, which is really:

Windoze app
~~~~~~~~
Wine (allows emulation to play windoze apps)
~~~~~~~~
QEMU (emulation platform)
~~~~~~~~~
Linux
~~~~~~~~~
PS3 OS

If you look at the layers of software all running, u can see how overloaded this would be. But the cell can process it, just quite slow, like a 833 mhz pentium ONE with no accelerated graphix. Still lets u do some funny stuff though.

Technical - Goblinlord has another approach to the above but lets see what he says when he gets back.
