I’m still not sold on the fact that the XBox2 will be running CPUs made by IBM. As most of us know IBM makes the CPU’s for Apple’s G5s. Now if IBM were to make the CPUs they would have to lease x86 technology from either AMD or Intel. Why? B/c if IBM dose not, that would make the XBox2 incomparable with XBox1 games, b/c it would be more like a Mac-in-Trash than a PC. And it would take to long two try and emulate the XBox1 on an XBox2 plus this would require LOTs of power.

So I’m still kinda thinking AMD or Intel will make the CPUs. It would cost huge sums of money for IBM to get that x86 technology. Now even if IBM doesn’t make the CPUs I’m sure they will play a big part with some thing else.

Just my 2˘
