I've been watching that for awhile no.
It seems to have a 1.4GHz P3, 256MG of RAM.
Its got some kind oh switch to switch between 1.4Ghz and 740MHz.

All of this is more or less useless for the gamer though. This would only be needed for people who run Linux and maybe when Windows CE gets to be more popular.

So u reckon this would mainly be of use to devs and hark0re geeks? But the site does boast better looking/ faster loading games. Has anyone actually got it?

I my self think its for people who have more money than brains.
That XBox isn't going to make your games do any thing. If any thing they will just run faster.

If thats the case, every thing will move faster, nothing will be at the speed its made for. Every thing would just run at 2x speed and you couldn’t be able to control any thing.

Quall999 is on a distinguished road
That's exactly what happens. The games run faster (much like framskip). Not worth the extra $350 if you ask me. Also would have to say that it isn't even for devs. If your going to develope something for xbox, then you probably don't want it to just run on your xbox. Meaning, You have to make the spped consistant with normal xbox's. As for developing on anything else, well, u can get a PC better than the xbox for $500, enouph said.

Strictly just to beat the jones's.
