Skype PSP Slim Only Due To RAM Usage
Posted by x3sphere at January 7, 2008, 3:06 pm
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe head of corporate communications Nick Sharples has confirmed that the decision to make Skype a PSP Slim-only feature was made due to the fact that the Slim model has 64MB internal RAM, compared to original model’s meager 32MB.
Although PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 are identical in basic functions, there are differences in hardware specifications to some extent and for that reason, PSP-2000 may differ in features from PSP-1000. We had studied the possibility of supporting Skype with PSP-1000 but had to give it up because of the smaller size of main memory on PSP-1000 series
