not sure if it has or it hasnt, that why I posted it to see if any others have more information on it.  web site indicates it works, pics show its real however they are just external pics not internal.  so maybe it could be bs.  

who knows

who knows what it can really do, now what they should do when selling it it should have the upgradded ram as well.  then this machine will be worth a look.

even though not much support it.

it would be a start

...and others did not care and went about their lives as they always had, while the others who ate words later died, for one cannot survive on word alone...

Well, I don't see that it would be that difficult it you had the equipment to desolder the old processor and slap an SMT socket on the board... Perhaps an occilator (sp?) change to switch the bus speed.

The chipset should be able to handle it, and with the CPU soldered to the MB I can't imagine any other checks being put into place....

But I guess we'll just have to wait for someone to buy one and disect it.

This is pointless.

They're 2 angles I could see this from

1. They made a clone (there were quite a few clones in the early days of consoles but I think this is very unlikely

2. They're buying original xbox's and ripping them apart

bad bad business model, add amazing ammount of hassle to change processor and cost of new case, extra hardware. This just so obviously isn't a goer, the best they can hope for is obscurity.

Xbox next is still a couple of years away yet give the xbox time to live 1st.

yeah it does sound like BS to me as well, and i Agree why the hell would someone go through all the trouple to add a 1.4 process and not add additional ram.

that would have made more sense, but then again who am I

balls on ur forehead.. beerchug.gif

Well as mentioned before, what diff does it make?  Xbox software is designed to run perfectly on a 700Mhz.  So, unless you're writing a homebrew rip-off version of Maya, SETI signal analyzers, or software to predict Earthquakes, it won't make any difference.

Cool that the mod worked, but it's impractical, so i doubt anyone would sell it (unless, of course, people are dumb enough to buy it).
