Curtiz, he's just questioning what he read, thus the basic feature of forums, to discuss.
Please don't call him an idiot.

i wonder how games would look like on this since the xbox "1" has a 733Mhz CPU, a Geforce3+ and 64MB UMA.

i dont see the point in upgrading my pc again for a long while i'm just gonna spend $400 on a new console instead of $400 on a gfx card $100 on more memory etc etc. Anyone who can bitch at a game on a system with specs like that really really does have problems. So far ive seen 2 (albeit) small ingame videos from a xbox360 title and they look jaw dropping coupla that with HDTV with FSAA and i'm sold. If it is an xmas launch i'll give it a few months see how the game dev goes, check out what the info and lauch package of the ps3 is and pick one or the other. I'm thru with nintendo i hated the n64 the gamecube was a great system but heavily flawed by nintendos insistance to make it so u cant do anything except play their games on it.
It looks more and more that the future of consoles is gonna be getting people online. Nice to see they included many features currently available on a modded xbox such as media streaming etc etc

See how long i could hold out to the dark side. lol But i like the fact that everybody gets to play on LIVE albeit silver only gets on weekends but shit that is when i do most of my gaming, got to much work. lol

FROM WW*.GAMESINDUSTRY.BIZ
Development sources downplay alleged Xbox 360 spec sheet
GamesIndustry.biz staff 09:47 10/05/2005
Close but no cigar, say coders working on next-gen Xbox as new "leak" hits the net
Developers working on the Xbox 360 hardware have expressed doubts at the validity of a "leaked" bullet-point list of specifications purporting to be those of the Xbox 360 next-gen console and the accompanying Xbox Live service.
The console specifications, which were posted to the Internet this week, are largely consistent with previous leaks about the Xbox 360 hardware - but a number of unusual flaws in the document, pointed out by development sources, suggest that this is not an official Microsoft document.
"It's most probably a list made by someone who knows more about the official spec than the average hack, but I doubt it's an official Microsoft spec sheet," we were told by one developer who has experience of the new format.
"It's probably broadly in line with the spec that will be announced, but may be off on some of the finer details," he added.
One example is the mention of a 20GB detachable hard disk, when a 40GB unit is clearly visible in last Friday's leaked photographs.
The hardware spec sheet offers details on the central and graphics processing unit architectures, memory details and bandwidth potential, and claims that Xbox 360 will support a host of CD and DVD derivatives, output in widescreen and the much vaunted high-definition resolutions as standard, boast a trio of USB 2.0 ports, support for four wireless controllers, and the aforementioned detachable 20GB drive.
It will also be "Wi-Fi ready", the spec sheet claims, although whether that is intended to imply that the system actually has Wi-Fi hardware (as is widely expected) or that it's simply ready to plug an additional Wi-Fi module into is not clarified.
The Xbox Live spec included on the sheet is arguably more interesting, mentioning a pair of subscription options (one free, and one paid-for) and some key concepts like the ability to access Live to download premium content without actually being a paid up subscriber who can play games online.
We must stress that Microsoft has made absolutely no comment on this information, and is unlikely to do so if past form is anything to go by. We don't have long to wait, however, with the MTV special which will officially unveil the console planned for Thursday evening in the USA.

That 10mb must be a typo hehe.
Looks good anyway. |
the 10MB embedded graphics RAM is used for the frame buffer(s). Everything else (textures, models etc) gets stored in main memory, which is GDDR3 - so latency and performance won't be any problem. The motherboard layout will be arranged as such to minimize track lengths (thus latency) too.
