Leaked X-Box 2 Specs Include PPC CPU
Jutebox150 writes "According to the MercuryNews.com, the specifications for Microsoft's successor to the Xbox were revealed. The specs for the next Xbox, at least according to this report, are as follows: Three IBM-designed 64-bit microprocessors, the same chips now used in Apple Computer's high-end G5 PowerMac. This will give the new Xbox 'more computing power than most personal computers.' A graphics chip designed by ATI Technologies that will clock in with speeds faster than the upcoming R400. But what I found most surprising is there are no talks about an internal hard drive, rather suggesting that the next Xbox will instead rely on flash memory, and, depending on hardware cost, backwards compatibility could be out of the question."
..also it's just worthless information for most parts, so much speculation.

And while we're at it, I'm looking for a clean ISO of Savage: the battle for newearth. I've played the demo and it rocks! I just need to get the retail now! I've checked Suprnova, and it's not listed.
Please help a brother out.

/. and only looks like part of the message because your written english skills suck. Much like your AC trolling skills really.
Heh. Do you actually realize that the "Thanks, Andy!" bit at the end was not part of the message?
It was part of the story submission to
Given that Darwin is open-source, anybody else think there'll be a push to get it running on the Xbox? It shouldn't be that hard - maybe somebody will even go so far as to come up with an extremely clever hack that would let one install the rest of X on an Xbox...mmm...
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. - Aldous Huxley
It is sad that Sir Bill and his cronies can put so much effort into a toy, but not do anything constructive about their vile, bug-ridden, insecure products, particularly Lookout and Inept Exploder, which continue to damage the world. It suggests that Sir Bill has in fact not grown up yet, either that or is so arrogant that he does not care how much destruction occurs as a result of his delibarately incorporated automatic virus downloading facility.
I hope that the next court judgment (there will be one, because he is ignoring the last one) does order the breakup of the Convicted Monopolist. Bill should be assigned to the toys division, and never, ever let near real software.
Meanwhile, I would suggest that M$ be known as a toy company, because that is clearly the only area where they have the slightest amount of competence.
