About defragging xbox drive - I seem to recall reading something about XFAT not fragmenting files. In that case, a format wouldn't help your problems. How would MS expect users to defrag HDD after years of use anyway. Maybe you are overheating or experiencing some other performance loss.

After buying Xbox 2 days ago now searching all thru Hamburg stores in order to find one with Samsung - mine unfo was with Thomson. Been advised that December builds supposingly shud come with Samsung and TOSHIBA (allegedly some MS salesman confirmed this to Karstadt people). Now curious to wait till next week when December builds supposed to come - then will change mine for a new one with sammy or toshiba, and away with this Tommy f**k !

Anyone heard about Toshiba DVDs in Xbox ??????

QUOTE (heinrich @ Nov 15 2003, 06:34 PM)dink: can you post what bios's you have used and the results (which ones recognize the extra RAM ok).  From what I have read, the x2 bios's work fine, but have you (or anyone else) tried using a evox bios?

TIA.
Xecuter2 BIOSes (4876, 4977, 4978, 4979 and 4980) enables the extra 64 meg of memory.

Evox M6 and M7 do NOT enable the extra 64 meg of memory.

Here is a list of BIOS's, that DO support 128 meg.  Hopefully, this feature can be added to the BIOS comparision chart on XBS.   So, if you plan to add the additional 64 meg, make sure you have a BIOS that recognizes it.

My tested using the following:
1.0 Xbox w/128 meg
XBMP and XBMC
MAMEoX
Memcheck

If someone knows the location and hex values that need to be changed in a BIOS, to support 128meg.  Can you please post it.
