As for splitting the ram, one of the biggest things both systems are doing this generation is unified memory. Parts of the ram will be reserved for the OS but everything else is open to whatever needs it. This is one aspect the Devs really love and was one of the biggest complaints of the last generation. Having two types of ram means no more unified ram and it requires a new memory controller raising the price.
