this is the first time in a while that i have started a topic, but i just had a random thought. I dunno if anyone else has had a similar thread of thought and posted it, so i have decided to do so.
I was just thinking about all the stuff we are gonna be able to do once the 360 is modded, when it hit me: xbox 1 could almost run windows XP but lack of RAM among other things prevented this (windows embedded i think almost worked, but i never followed that up) and windows CE i think actually ran. BUt most of all, the 64 mb of Ram kinda screwed everything up (including dreamcast emulation among other things).
Now (rather in the future) the xbox360 is most likely gonna be more powerful than ANYbody's PC they own. I mean 3 Core-powerPC @ 3.2 GHz and 2 threads each. That is pretty powerful. the xbox had like a 733 mhz. Then you have the 512 mb of GDDRam, which is how much i had in my pc up until about a month ago, which is more than enough to run most, if not all, common pc applications. The graphics card will be more powerful than anthing for 12 months, as claimed by cnet i think (or some other news site). then again, playing pc games wont really be a question, as 360 games will be better anyway. The upgradeable hdd is a gimme and a necessity for any PC.
I mean, c'mon it has direct VGA out, USB ports, Wireless built in....jesus
I mean, just looking at all the components and features, this is a highend PC for 300 bukcs (or around there) that can play xbox 360 games too. PPC based CPU though warrants Mac OSX (or linux i think?) but im willing to bet that in the future I'm going to be buying a second 360 as my desktop powerhouse computer.
So, anyone else think that this is gonna be...oh, i dunno, pretty friggin crazy/awesome?
