Do you guys think the XBox has any possibility of upgradability?
I did a search and came up with nothing.
Since MS eats it on ever XBox sale it would be to their benifit to swap a vid card and the processor out instead of selling a new unit.
I would think an XBox will play XBox2 games with degraded gfx due to it being a computer, they really shouldn't even need to tweak the code much to do it right? Or does the XBox process things completely different...like the GC and PS2?
If it can play XBox2 games some people might go for a cheap upgrade of the XBox to get gfx somewhere in between XBox2 and XBox 1 games I would think.
It would probably need to be designed to be upgradable, but sticking a sweet new gfx card and a faster CPU will certainly make a difference. Especially, if the onboard ram was dedicated to the system and the upgraded card had its own ram.
I know the mobo technology isn't great, but stick a 9800 pro in an nForce1 mobo and you'll still get a damned good upgrade compared to a gf3 even if the ram/mobo is a huge bottleneck.
Has there been any official statements released from MS about possible XBox upgrades?
Thanks for any help.
ps these forums are great, you can actually discuss XBox stuff without GC/PS2 fanboys coming in and ruining the topics!
