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).

Double the CPU power is a HUGE plus in the emulation scene, which is my first and foremost concern of my xbox.

Quite frankly i couldnt give a shit about xbox games. I dont play them. Im much more into console emulation, and 1.4 ghz over 700mhz spells sweet stuff to me.

There are alot of things that can take advantage of this upgrade, including emulators, linux (and emulation in linux, such as wine..gaming, and lots of other stuff)

So its hardly a matter of stupidity to buy it. Its a great technical feat.

Regarding emulation... 733MHz isn't too bad. Linux can run natively. And if you plan to emulate something that requires 1.4GHz then I can almost guarantee that the measily 64MBs RAM will stop you first (e.g., Mortal Kombat in MAME).

Upping the processor speed to 1.4 entails a couple things: One, that is likely a P4 (probably a Willamete or an early 0.13um Northwood). Xbox wasn't created to work with the P4 socket or power supply. Xbox was designed with a Celeron P3 in mind. Even the faster P3's (Tualatin's 1.2's) use a slightly different socket. Second, is the Xbox chipset/bus compatible with P4? Possibly, but not guaranteed. The IO speed should be sufficient since xbox rarely saturates the IO. Not too mention there's not a whole lot of disk access during game-play other than load times.

what i cant understand is these guys FT are able to solder on a new 1.4ghz processor but they cant add an extra 64MB of ram with the package ..

yeah, I don't see many buying it unless it also comes with 128MB of memory as well

i thought the upgraded xbox's came with 128MB

maybe it does but they do not mention it on thier website not have I seen it stated anywhere else.

@phot0n, where talking about a specific pre-modded retail Xbox, the "FT-XBX2" by FriendTech

I havnt seen it anywhere mentioning about the upgraded ram, hell why not try and fit a gig of ram..lol since they are going through all the trouble getting a celeron processor in the box now

Kinda B.S... the comparison on the above website.

They claim that the standard Xbox only supports standard stereo audio and no s-video. Period. Umm... whatever. To at least give an objective comparison, mention the capabilities, but also the additional purchase of the adv. a/v pack.

I've translated some from the news:
1,Friendtech have already showed this 1.4g modded xbox(called xbx2) at Computex Taipei 2003 in 9.22,there place is in the 2nd hall,F331.
2,It's 499 dollar.
3,Friendtech buys xboxs from retailer shops now.
4,Friendtech shows some normal xboxs and modded xboxs in the Computex for test,the visiters can play and compair the same xbox game,games on xbx2 boot,load,run much faster(The test game is The lord of the ring). Just like a 286 game runs on a 386 pc.
5,Game runs faster even use xbconnect but other players are still normal speed.(shit cheater!!)
6,If you have already had a xbox,you can send it to Friendtech,they can upgrade it for you.
7,In the US,xbx2 will be realesed by a Friendtech's co-opration company called Powerleap.

Here is some pictures from Taiwan forum(may be xbx2):
1,Orgin xbox mainboard: http://myweb.hinet.n...mage/xbox02.jpg
2,A xbox with a 1.4g swaped cpu:

Don't worry, it's real. My business partner was at computex in taipei, and made a stop by their booth. It's no joke; but he wasn't all that impressed at the practicality of the whole thing.

Although, they were just running standard Xbox games, which of course isn't going to display any real differences.

BCfosheezy · « **Reply #25 on:** October 31, 2003, 08:27:00 PM »

guys I had a broken mobo laying around so I extracted the cpu and I'm looking at the connection points. (Of course we all know it's attached by solder balls.) I am also looking at the way the pins are arranged on the tualatins you are speaking of. They do not even compare. They are so different. I'm not saying it's impossible but what I AM saying is that the impracticality of all this makes it just seem rediculous to do this. You'd have to solder wires to all the pins or create your own socket. I may post pictures if someone pms me and tells me this thread would like them. I probably won't check this thread again so if anyone is interested pm me.

Even the faster P3's (Tualatin's 1.2's) use a slightly different socket.

A company called powerleap has made Socket370 -> Tualatin adapters for years allowing Tualatin processors to work in standard P3 boards. They are using this off the shelf PowerLeap PL370T adapter.

well ok... but I'm really trying to say that it's neither of those two sockets... so that adapter is useless.

umm. guys, they are BOTH the celly-t and late p3's are socket 370's. the only difference is the operating voltage - which is what the adaptor is probably used for.

trust me on this, i use to have a 1.2ghz celeron tulatin running on a socket 370 board without an adaptor.

as for the xbox cpu - we know its not true p3, so the socket could well be different aswell.
