Well here is a xbox I have sitting here now .. not modded yet till thursday
I expect everything to work out fine using ICE Chip pin header install with lpc rebuild by hand.

Xbox Date: 2005-02-16
5838.01
5960.01
White and Red DVD Wires
Brown Wires leading to on/off board

****UPDATE*****

Since I wrote this.. I have flipped the board over to find all the same points available for a xenium Ice chip...
I do not have this chip yet to install on this particular box.. but I recently did one that looked like this made in 2005 and it worked out fine. 
I did notice that their seemed to be a couple different things on the board.. but again this could just be a 1.6b that I have never really noticed any difference from a 1.6-1.6b besides hearing the wires are different colors.

So.. As of right now.. I believe this IS a 1.6b unless someone points something out.   But if something goes wrong thursday I will let the forum know (of course someone else will probably have the answers by then)

What brand RAM does it have? If it's Hynix then it's a 1.6b.

Also, if the kernel is 5838, then it's probably just a 1.6/1.6b. But then again, it is possible for them to make hardware changes without changing the kernel.

Why hasn't any normal person posted that their Xbox is having problems?

My Xbox, which I thought was a 1.6b, has a mfg date of 3/11/2005. I can't get it to read discs from evolutionx m8+, even though I can flash my duox2 from DVD-R in the xecuter 3.03 flash-bios program.

I've got it opened up right in front of me.
Is there a way I can tell if it is 1.6b or 1.7???
Thanks

Here's one of the threads from the TSOP section (there are several)

Looks like there's nothing to worry about ....

People, please do not try to start/create panic/chaos/uprise/whatever. There is no need to. Don't assume that if you have a problem with a recent Xbox that you should immediatly think that it's a 1.7. Read tutorials/topics. Also, don't forget (IMG:http://forums.xbox-scene.com/style_images/oldx/search.gif). <_<

This is alot like v1.5 consoles, which don't exist. Anyone who says they have a v1.5 actually has a v1.4. The v1.5 apparently has no 3.3v or 5v connections on the LPC, but nobody has ever been able to verify this. Information on re-routing 5v connections in modchip install manuals is left there for simplicity.

I thought that it had to do with grounding certain points (on the LPC or something?). Nobody EVER confirmed this, though. It pretty much started as a rumor, just like the 1.7 Xbox.

I don't think that we should call any new 1.4 Xbox '1.7'. How hard is it to simply say 'I got a new 1.4'? Technically, there is NO difference between the old and new (I'm talking about the BIOS/mainboard). The only difference is a time-frame and I don't think that that should be a criteria for a new version-number.

I didn't realize they were calling them 1.7's, I thought it was just 1.4..  I also think its kinda pathetic for smartxx to post those hashes just so they can say "I told you so" later when the story is even more outdated..  If anybody really wants me to, I can host pics of a 1.4 mobo right now..

Please, DO call them 1.4 (and high-res pics are ALWAYS welcome! ).

Smart XX is really lame if all this is true. Basically any old mod chip that worked on xbox 1.2 and up will work fine. Oh well I hope I get one. I just got a new xbox for a friend today and it was a 1.6b (gag) Got it at Zellers in Niagara Falls.

New Kernal number is 5933. I cannot state my sources but u can aim me at Desi Musik if u wan tto know my sources.

[Atreyu]

what we need to know is if you can downgrade the dash to run UXE on it. :/

can your sources tell us that?

[eh.]

(Coincidentally[?] 5933 is an XDK/SDK version.)

[Atreyu]

well to all the people that *think* that might have a 1.7 start checking your kernal versions and if you can, down grade your dash!

go go go!

[..]

oh that is because it has not since UDE.

[Atreyu]

it could if the new kernal is programmed to run a new dash or higher ONLY

if there is a 1.7, the money is on that it won't boot the 4920 Uber-Dash...
