Does it come pre-loaded with NXE?

The problem is you dont understand how the dash works.

The NXE is the main thing in this flash memory, next would be the keys and kernel commands etc...

Any 360 manufactured after november of 2008 will have the NXE preloaded on it,  Considering the Efuses needed to be blown, why would they instal old kernel/dash on a newly manufatured board.

So yes, for a common sense question,  It comes preloaded with the dash that MS forced down everyones throats.

EDIT-- also you asking about the lag.... That has nothing to do with the size of the SPACE memory as it does the RAM memory.  Just like your harddrive has nothing to do with how fast your PC can load apps.

Actually, the problem is you don't know what you're talking about. I have an arcade with a manufacture date of 2009-02-27 without NXE installed on it.

hmm do any of these (in the usa) have the new liteon revision in them ? i hope not.

seems we don't have them yet here, the new liteon fw, not sure tho.

I don't understand how the dash works? Cheers for pointing that out.   Though didn't i say that it would most likely be on the internal MU? And futch1nc is saying his xbox didn't come pre-loaded with NXE after purchasing it in February this year, so... who really knows how the dashboard works, eh?

In terms of the lag, i was referring to how quickly information is accessed on the HDD. I wasn't referring to load times (like for 360 games), i was referring to how quickly HDD data can be accessed. There is a difference.

My concern was that the xbox360 doesn't read from the HDD at an adequate enough speed and can cause dashboard lag. I mean correct me if im wrong but MS went into this race not expecting to depend on a HDD.
Doesn't Halo3 run off the DVD better than the HDD (or at least used to)? I have dashboard lag that lasts 30-45 seconds.

Basically, what im saying is it very well could be WHERE the information is, not how much RAM the system has or how much SPACE the HDD or MU has.

I've been using PC's all my life both in work and play, i think i know the difference between disc space and RAM. I think my granny does at this stage. I figured if i compared to a 54,00rpm HDD anyone who responded would understand that im referring to the actual hard drive speed.

I actually have put a lot more thought into this than you might have noticed before giving your response.
(and yes your HDD can influence how fast your PC can load apps or games, so your not entirely correct there)

@Murc

Cheers. Is it on the internal MU, if so does it respond better?


Just to be clear. Can anyone, without a doubt, put this to rest?

Would the NXE, loaded onto the internal MU, increase the performance of the dashboard (navigation).
Is there anyone out there who actually owns a 360 with NXE on the internal MU and has/hasn't noticed a difference?
