So does that mean a different psu / input voltages

the spider I think uses a 3.3v SST chip but xecuter and maybe duox's AMD chips are 5v if I am correct

but there could be a lot more to this maybe

you would have to excuse me, i didnt read all the posts, but i wanted to comment on this, so i thought fuck it.

i think this must feel exploited maybe of something that happened before so they are putting at as a big deal, and i say if this is true and do deserve the credit and attention, but if they are being shellfish by not sharing there ideas and new fundings, then they shouldn't be on the scene. But they might not have everything 100% so they are taken a little longer you never know.

peace.

I personally think this is just a 1.6c instead of a completely new version. Why? It makes no sense for M$ to put out a new Motherboard, when they are phasing out the old Xbox for the 360

yes there going to continue to support it but ive read several places that there not going to make it anymore.

yeah they will make new games but they will not produce the console any more

heinrich · « **Reply #22 on:** May 24, 2005, 02:22:00 PM »

says who? You can say they wont make any more consoles just as easy as smartxx can say they have a 1.7.

Seems you haven't been keeping up on the news.

Nvidia has stopped making the XBOX graphics chips. IOW, no more XBOX being made after those chips are gone.

Yes, I read the story when it was news, maybe you didnt read it correctly though? The article does not say "Nvidia has stopped making" anything.

For Xbox, we expect Q2 to be the last quarter of shipments. MS has indicated they will not take any more products after Q2 and even more importantly we have stopped production of Xbox [components] and expect to have no inventory after Q2, said Marvin Burkett, NVIDIAs CFO.

Seems to me that the (original) XBOX days are numbered. There are a limited number of boxes left to be made.

Thanks for the insults, LostIt, way to make your point even more clear. That article does indeed say they have stop producing them, but also note the last paragraph.
How many of those chips could MS have in a warehouse? And why couldnt they produce them on their own?

i agree with LostIt, i remmeber seeing a report form MS saying they are stoppin gproduction of xbox in order to devote all facilites to producing 360, makine a new version motherboard would just be silly

as much as i like smartxx chips im gonna call BS on this until i see some pictures

heinrich · « **Reply #29 on:** May 24, 2005, 03:32:00 PM »

On the actual topic though, all the hostility towards smartxx is really uncalled for at the time being. Its obvious if they just 'make up' xbox revisions, their reputation goes down the drain. Probably best to wait and see instead...
And keep in mind that english is not their first language, so by "too complicated", they very well could have meant "too much of a hassle."
