i'm not going to go into details as to why (other then the fact that there is no motherboard that would support it), but no. its not possible.

buy an ultra high-end amd dual core processor, throw in a gig here a gig there of ram, toss around a few nvidia 7900-whatevers, (not to mention a fancy shmancy mobo) and you'll have yourself a nifty pc that'll out hustle a 360 any day.
wonder if anyone's put this in the comedy forum yet.......

Maybe I can figure out a way to solder my 7800gtx to my 360 mobo and get 1080p resolution from the increased power (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jester.gif)
No offense intended, I was just highly amused by the concept.

Do they put a pizza in the oven at the same time as well?

Put it back in an oven to melt the solder off?

I would of thought that putting it in an oven hot enough to melt the solder would damage the components.
well, all options considered you could try a hot air gun, but of course that could get very complicated, very quickly

Actually, removal is pretty easy if you have the right tools. Goto your local electronics shop; There's plenty of ways to de-solder chips by hand, as well as easily re-solder them.

How is this thread still alive, I contribute it to very lazy mods. Anyway this will never work even if you did have a motherboard for it this PPC processor for the simple fact that the processor it's self it hard coded to work with components and GPU found only on the 360 motherboard not to mention the architectural reasons that I care not to divulge in.
I disagree. While the components it comes with may be the only ones it uses out of the box, we already know it has potential with the USB ports. We can also swap DVD drives simply by making sure the key is in there. We can stick with the CPU/GPU. RAM upgrade might be hard, but then again, it could be as simple as desoldering the RAM chips on the board, and replacing them.

removing a BGA type cpu will almost always do considerable damage to the chip and the board UNLESS you are a true expert at de-soldering circuits AND requires some VERY expensive machines to do even that for someone who might be an expert but not sure they can do it
and to make things harder I'm pretty sure its a FBGA type which makes even that near impossible
i guess you have an 899 pin BGA motherboard in your dreamland also
i guess i can take 360 cpu and put in in my classic pong game
WTF
can somebody get a mod on this thread
don't bother asking about the ps3 cpu either

Methadon your an idiot I'm sorry did you not understand anything I wrote the cpu is a special cpu built just for the 360 it is a modified version of the PPC processor it requires special encrypted boot rom to even start up the cpu much less just make it work on another motherboard "if" you could find a 899 pin BGA mobo which i don't think exist wait the 360 mobo. Going at the fact you pull a board out of your ass and you hacked the 2048bit SHA-1 key and wrote a boot loader to start the cpu's you would have to be phenomenal at porting a PPC flavor of linux. The GPU would have limited access because you would need special drivers to make it work. Yeah the ddr ram is pretty standard I suppose if you felt like it you could solder it to a stick but why ddr is pretty cheap stuff. So good luck with this try doing some reading before posting your dumb ass comments. And about the USB no shit USB is USB it's called a standard and for it to work you go by it. The thing about the drives it does work in a pc woopdy do this thread is about the CPU/GPU ever working in a PC. Please don't post again until you learn what the hell your talking about. Thank you. Have a nice day.
Woah, I misread the original post. I know it was a while back, but after re-reading my post, I think I was under the impression this was about RAM upgrading. If I wasn't responding to that, then please excuse this as an exceptionally rare "blonde manifestation"
