Those facts are interesting...here is them for you lazy folks...
Xbox Power Facts:

-The Xbox has 80 Gigaflops of computing power. That's equivalent to the power found in a Cray C94 supercomputer.
-It would take everyone on Earth one hour to calculate what the Xbox calculates every second.
-If the HyperTransport link in the Xbox was a pipe carrying water, and every bit of information equalled one gallon, the pipe would fill up the Pacific Ocean every second!

<----Shame on Frostberg for not knowing what a Cray C94 Supercomputer is

A supercomputer of 1994....not saying a whole lot lol

[DOOM]

Actually that computer is Used today...
It Was Introduced Back Then...
Not A Shabby Piece Of Hardware At All!

[Frostberg]

Yeah its much more amazing to say that they had this kind of power in 1994...but if it seems that the XBox is equal to this Cray C94 supercomputer...seems like it isint all that "super"...being my comp is better than the C94

[DOOM]

See What A Few Years Can Do!:eek:

[X-Fox220]

But the main thing is is that Xbox is just video game system...I mean its graded with GC and PS2 and even N64 at times...and for it to have that much power is just uncanny:eek:

[GokuX]

Nope, terrorist could reprogram the XBox to control missles. If U don't trust me then just ask Sony, since they had a similar issues with their PS2 falling into enemy hands and being re-programmed to launch missles. I mean U know how powerful that Emotion Engine is, so I bet the terrorists are just itching to get their hands on an XBox. :D

[DOOM]

That whole terrorist thing was a rumor dude...
Terrorists can afford to buy a PC!:rolleyes:

[Frostberg]

how powerful that emotion engine is eh? Thats like saying how powerful the Xboxes Nvidia graphics card is...I dont think terrorists need to do any 3D art anytime soon...

[Toonz]

LOL Frostberg

[GokuX]

I was kidding, U don't think anyone would be foolish enuf to believe that do ya?

[LynxFX]

Maybe they are loading CAD or 3D Architect to remodel their caves.

"hmmm, I think this pile of rubble should go over here" *click* "Oh yeah, that opens this place right up"

[GokuX]

I bet ya they really have Dreamcasts so they can play their favorite game, Rainbow 6. They wanna feel what it's like to be on the right side of the law. They probably shout at the terrorists in the game just as much as anyone else when they get killed by em.
