Personally, I think this will be just another 3rd gen with extra flash.
BTW: First!

I think they are one in the same.

is it just me, or is anyone else bothered by the way they (EB2k) write their specs? especially when they had announced the supposed "chameleon 2." megaBYTES is usually written with capitals -> MB. whereas megaBITS is written with a capital and lowercase -> Mb. if it is indeed the latter, the chip would only be 512k with 256k for this supposed SRAM  i hope someone can clarify this up for me. maybe by telling them not to use ancronyms  |
Common sense will tell you it's megabytes because this chip is suppose to be better than the Chameleon.

We've already seen proof of concept bios from xecuter.. with embedded xbe/ftp. Expect more once x3 ships.
As for EB stealing the Cham.. that's not exactly what happened. EB and Xodus were business partners.. on designing the chips.. the other manufacturering and distributing the chip. That relationship soured.. and Xodus got screwed out of alot of money.
Both sides retained the cham designs. Xodus decided to wash their hands of the Chameleon designs and project.. meanwhile EB had released another batch or two after the separation and wouldn't you know.. there were ALOT of problems with the EB only batch.
Anyway.. they didn't STEAL the chameleon.

Unless this chip as an OS like the Xenium or SmartXX it will not be worth it.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly what happened...
It had to have been a nightmare for there ordering and shipping department, because within one or two months there, everybody suddenly "got it", "Wow I can mod my Xbox and do what?; Oh and its easy too with this Matrix thingy? Then suddenly EB2K was swamped with orders they could not fulfill and everyone assumed it to be there fault because of all the shipping delays... Which in essence you could say, that a buisness that is online has to be ready for such mass orders since, they are offering there services to a very large crowd, but there was no way with the amounts the chip maker could produce that they could have fulfilled all those orders in a short period of time... I have had my share of problems with almost every single seller that has sponsored X-S, it just happens, but I have always received my product in the end, which if not functional, was replaced with a new one...

All I said was bad blood.
And more then likely it a gen 3 chip with the extra's added not a gen 4

I believe this comment is what may have made it "appear" you were saying "They better ship my chip and not rip me off"
But, that can be read several different ways actually....
As for my comments, I was just trying to stop the finger pointing when it comes to EB2K, I do not personally use them anymore, but as I said, I have had problems with almost all dealers not just them...

Solderless working extremely well for those that wanted it that way.. while the others.. in Pinheader installs.. are doing equally as well.
Haven't personally found a real use yet for the 3.5 mb of usable stoarge for bios.. except for an insane variety of color mods etc. Nice gimmick that help to sell the premods.. so what do I care.
