Modded XBox - 1.4GHZ & 750GB

[Nikamichi]

Super XBox $399

Definitely a dream system...

So does it play games faster with the 1.4/128MB? Or is that just bragging rights?

- M4H

Why would anyone actually want that?

 

[Crusty]

Why not just build a damn computer...

It might load them a little faster (and it would of course if you just ripped them to the drives). But I doubt with xbox devs coding for the original xbox specs, the games probably wouldn't run any better. Some stuff, like emulation, might work better because of ROM sizes (and the increased amount of available memory).

Seems kind of excessive to me.

make a hell of a divx box

In all fairness, $399 is not bad, given the cost of the hard drives and the case alone. It does seem pretty pointless, though.

 

[Turin39789]

me smells scam, newegg is listing 250gb hard drives for 200 bucks, and this has three of them inside?

 

[MaxFusion16]

games run faster with the faster cpu, so things are sped up.
This is actually a very good deal, the harddrives alone are worth it.

If it was real, it probably wouldn't give us any performance boost in games. That's the one area that the original XBox needed work in, and that's horsepower. Too many XBox games are choppy framerate wise.

Edit: MaxFusion16 says it would give a performance boost. Hmm...again, if it were real and I had the money to waste, I'd jump on it. I don't know if the mod chip works with XBox Live but ehh, I don't like or play Live all that much anyways.

With 750GB, you can back up at least a few hundred games. Perfect for lan parties & such.
Not totally pointless...

why on earth would you have an XP/98 dual boot system??

 

[fumbduck]

lol


im gonna buy one and sell the 2 of the harddrives to cover most of the cost

 

[Cuda1447]

what a nut

Clearly, the image shows only one HDD. On top of that, the XBOX only supports up to 137GB so even a HDD switch like a Trios wouldn't allow that kind of storage. I have seen some CPU upgrade manufacturer that really does mod XBOXes with 1.4GHz Tualatin-core CPUs + extra memory (The official BIOS cannot address the extra memory. It is for Linux/homebrew/developer BIOSes only!).

 

[Schadenfroh]

i call BS

 

[SoylentGreen]

What is wrong with you guys. I feel totally confident with a purchase from bigdumbanimal27.

 

[PowerMac4Ever]

For payment he'll send you a Money Order for $1600 and will expect you to send a check for $1200.

Cant the new BIOS' support > 137 GB?

 

[RagingBITCH]

That listing is going to get pulled.

correct; they do

 

[Lager]

Damn, that's ugly!

 

[randomlinh]

gone too

 

[FFactory0x]

This was total BS!!!!
I mod xboxs and know a lot about them
The Xbox only supports 137gb with the new bios.
That 1.4ghz cpu wouldnt do shiza for games! Games were coded around the original cpu and a new cpu would have no effect. The ram on the other and would only help one with rom emulation and would have no effect on regular games. Beleive me!

The new bios supports 137gb+ now. Just need drive G support.

I currently have a 200gig in mine, with 15gigs free.
