I can't wait to see if it is moddable, aka XBMC360
I REALLY NEED a new toy to play with, and take apart, and mod da hex out of!
What about you guys?
Post by: wafflez on June 02, 2005, 03:13:00 PM
why would you need to put xbox media center on it? It is a media center already. But i guess it will be fun to take apart and see what i can do with it.

There is a reason why this thread was put in the 'newbie' forum.
You're going to be waiting a long while for any mods for the 360.

Chips yes. Other things like lights, no. Just look how long it took us to mod the band-aid power cables that ms sent us. It wasn't one week before somebody changed the leds' in the brick. Some mods I have in mind are paint, a lighted case window like a PC one, a DVD window, hardwireing the wireless adaptor into the console, If I can find room hardwire the cam into the front of the console when it come out. I think I will buy two one to mod and the other to be stock just in case

I'm NOT interested in paying to play on XBOX LIVE, you guys can keep live. I already have enough bills.
As far as the word 'siked' goes, that's what I luv about the internet, u knew what I meant, so problem solved! Besides, I was too SIKED to worry about spelling when I wrote this thread.
Most of you guys ALL talk like newbies with that 'I don't think Im gonna mod it,' and 'If it already has everything you need why mod it?' Since when did M$ make any product that was complete. They already have an ASS-LOAD (did I spell that right?) of accessories lined up for it, so obviously there is TONS of potential for modding.

When (i'm not gonna say if becuase WE ALL KNOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN) the 360 gets modded, it will be the ultimate Linux (Possibly Windows, Mac? Who knows) Machine: 512 MB RAM, DVD drive, USB 2.0 ports (4 wireless ports), 20+ GB HD, and (drools) 10 Ghz of processing power.

Well...I'm following the Intel vs. AMD Dual core STRESS TEST over at tomshardware.com. I hope Intel gets their dual core together, because it not looking ALL that powerful. Again they're playing on the minds of the un-informed people who see 3 CPUs running a 3.2GHz, and let thier imaginations run WILD.

each core will not be dedicated to a different task, what would be the point in that, so what one core for playing games, that would be great we'd lose 4 hardware threads straight away.
excuse me, if you think that 3 3.2Ghz cores is not powerful along with a next generation graphics card then what is powerful to you? although its unfair to compare the power of a pc to the power of a console, just think of the raw power of the 360 itself.
true Mhz is not that great a thing, its really just something intel made up back in the day to show how fast these machines were, its really pointless now, theres so much more to consider, and in this case one important thing to consider is the fact that it has 6 hardware threads and three general purpose CPU cores, perfect for gaming.
and finally i ask again, yet in another thread, why is there another pointless thread about modding the 360? this stuff has been gone over a thousand times, and like i always say, why talk about modding it when you don't even have one yet? yes it might be modded or it might not, nobody here is in the position to say whether it can be or not. all you can do is post another "i think it will be". and besides, why would you want media centre on it anyways, don't you have a perfectly good xbox sitting there with media centre on it? what would a 360 version add to it that the xbox version didn't have?

To better things.. the Xbox 360 will have 6 cores.. but not in the way you think, Mi.crosoft had IBM build in SMT which is simultaneous multi-threading, which allows a core to create a second "virtual" core which is not as powerful as an actual core but it generally increases performance up to 50 percent or so, so you got 6 cores, which three are weaker "virtual" cores, also M.icrosoft says the CPU with SMT is roughly 80 times more powerful than the Xbox CPU.
So 3 cores and 3 weaker "virtual" cores

First of all the Xenon CPU isn't 10Ghz nor is it just 3.2Ghz. It is three 3.2Ghz IN ORDER cores that are capable of running 2 threads at a time that all share the same L2 cache (so not like 3 separate processors). Also don't be fooled by the high clock speed. How do you think they got 3 cores running at 3.2ghz to fit on the space of one chip? Because they are in order not out of order (OoO) like PC processors are. It frees up a lot of space but also makes the chip slower compared to an out of order chip because the code must be tuned by the programmer and compiler. An out of order chip can change the order of its operations to run code efficiently while the in order chip can't meaning that many CPU cycles are wasted (one cycle is 1hz).
