i read somewhere that the new x-box is the equivient of a pIII 750mhz,so what does that make a playstation 2?
And how come playstation 2 games look better than pc games?

Look at the article on the front page, it goes through the specs on both of those, as well as the Game Cube.

The graphics look better for two reasons. First, they don't have to make it compatible with many different video cards, CPUs, etc. Second, the minimum system requirements are actually higher. Usually, the requirements on a PC game will be below a chronologically corresponding console.

You cant compare the CPUs of the two systems. One is a 128bit RISC processor... the other is a tweaked Celeron. The difference in architecture is huge so you cant compare the two as a basis for performance.
There is also a whole lot more to a console than the CPU it uses.
