Pictures of the new processor fitted?

Also, a link to the tutorial?  

And, what code is the processor?

Although, I'm not really sure what the intent of this thread is but good news for peeps who want to experiment with an original Xbox upgraded to fit any 370-pin Intel processor.

I've originally posted progress on the XboxHacker BBS. It's basically a PCB that you can solder directly over the Xbox's mainboard ball grid array (BGA) mobile processor socket (or whatever you call it ) without the need of a BGA [re]work/reball station. Now, I'm in the process of getting a prototype fabricated.

Enough with the details for now. This post can deserve a thread of its own.
But, for this "topic", this will probably help your "question."

phrasius in that thread reckons XBMC doesn't use the extra CPU power... Now, I haven't tried such an upgrade myself (doubt I'll ever get enough spare time/money/boredom), but I'm pretty sure that's just not true. At one point support was specifically built in, and FriendTech even donated a DreamX to Team XBMC so they could test it out.

Sure, I gather the benefits are slim, but they are at least existant.
