(sorry my porr english)
I believe FALCON hav new cpu
Believe falcon hav 175W
Believe hav new Dissy sistem...
But i not believe FALCON not hav X-CLAMP there is something wrong on all internet guide about FALCON i think is better if all site correct

FALCON xbox360 not hav X-CLAMP? = FALSE,becouse HAV X-CLAMP and SHIT STICK on memory video.
So Falcon XBOX360 can hav x-clamp,and if can hav.

A lot of falcon HAV X-CLAMP inside,so can broken SAME other XBOX360.
More people change their XBOX360 whit FALCON becouse think not hav X-CLAMP inside and lose money or more...

I Think,buy falcon is good,becouse is new model

But i think all guy buy FALCON and change whit his XBOX360 old,only becouse think
not hav X-CLAMP is WRONG so much.

And i think,if i already hav an xbox360 old model,is if leave x-clamp and put screw whit security circle,change termal paste and put 4cent euro money on chip memory and do all necessary for make my xbox360 not broken,IS BETTER than sell my 360 and buy A FALCON whit x-clamp.

Well, that lays to waste any theory's that the X-Clamp is the cause of the problems. Seems that poor heat sink design and lead free solder is all that is left. Got to wonder if the X-Clamp repalcement is a waste of time!

How can it be a waste of time when it has resurrected 1000's of dead consoles that are still running strong?

You have the Falcon motherboard, thats for sure. I think that all Falcon motherboards comes with the old X-Clamps.

Current X-Clamp repair statistics as of 1-17-08 1:02 pm EST.

   1. Fixed the 3RLOD. No issues at all now, no freezing, works fine: 894 consoles.
   2. Fixed the 3RLOD. Video still freezes occasionally: 23 consoles.
   3. Mixed results. Sometimes works with no 3RLOD: 8 consoles.
   4. Did not fix the 3RLOD: 81 consoles.

92.3% of all boxes attempted are brought back to at least working condition, about 2 percent of those have a random freezing issue occasionally.

The X-Clamps are the fundamental flaw in the Xbox 360, and the cause of microsoft's one billion dollar repair plan. That's near indisputable. What is funny about this, is that a small handful of people passionate about their hardware discovered a fantastic fix for an expensive problem, and the people being payed to repair the boxes officially haven't caught on yet!

The question of the day is now why would M$ put those X clamps on their newly designed 360? Microsoft did not design those clamps, and they are used on other electronics that do not have this issue. I know that putting a cast on broken arm prevents it from braking anymore... but it doesn't heal it!!

 thats because they didnt do it well , if they did understand why its done and how its done , they would make it better , and n more problems would happen again
i did hundreds of consoles too , and most of them didnt come back with errors
