@master801 #xbins, IRC.

@CameronWoodward107 Actually the XBOX console was discontinued rather quickly compared to other mainstream consoles

[MartinChir]

@960power Mine too...wait, no, I have the iPhone 4 so it's no quite there...

[CameronWoodward107]

@ImAKillZoneFan You know whats funny. the original xbox have lasted longer then all the new systems.

[Frankfurtdabezzzt]

i think the confluence skin looks much better

[Frankfurtdabezzzt]

@ImAKillZoneFan You're a stupid idiot

[960power]

@MicroFoxGaming mine too :D

@UrGFsTaco These kind of projects (at least for these days) are more of a "look what I can do" or something to do for the sake/challenge of it as opposed to being completely practical. A much better HTPC can be build for pretty cheap. However, stuff like this is pretty cool, in a "what if" kind of manner. The original Xbox with 128 MB of memory probably could've helped boost the console's graphics capabilities considerably.

My phone has a 1GHz CPU

[MartinChir]

@stupido103 Well I don't have the files anymore, I would get the T3ch builds, 2006-2007 is what you would be looking for

[MartinChir]

@ImAKillZoneFan What the George Foreman grill?

@UrGFsTaco I would go with a HTPC, the XBOX is getting old now and more so a collectors item, xbox was THE htpc but now you can build something much better

[MartinChir]

@r3fr1g3r4t3dxb0x Maybe using Linux or dedicated hardware

[MartinChir]

@matheus357357357 There a lot of teaks to make this CPU work, it is not the original CPU, it's a mobile PIII

[MartinChir]

@Goazbox Yeah 720P h264 works fine

[MartinChir]

@MrTpengineer Using industrial equipment to de soldier all the CPU balls, it is a Intel PIII

[UrGFsTaco]

Shoul i get an xbox and softmod and install xbmc and tons of games on it or get a htpc that decodes 1080p

[zebr1011]

lol, porn

[r3fr1g3r4t3dxb0x]

Is it possible to graph a 3.26ghz pentium 4 to an xboxes CPU and/or GPU i have old computers with the parts and a few spare xboxes

[matheus357357357]

this xbox is overclocked?

[Goazbox]

@MartinChir

Never a waste of time nor money, its very fun to do and have. and the looks on everyone faces when they see its capabilities keep being fun to watch, even after all these years of advancements

[Goazbox]

can you play movies in 720p with this mod?

I've got the standard CPU+RAM with an X3CE+Front Panel, 250GB and XMBC as well as linux etc etc running on it, XBMC puts out in 1080i or 720p. but still the xbox cant handle movies in higher res than 480p. does this solve that problem?

that would be the only reason for me doing such an upgrade

[MrTpengineer]

@MartinChir The cpu is embedded, how?

[MartinChir]

@HaloSpartanG13 Because back in the day there was only XP MCE and bulky computers or slow slim ones
