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."

Give me a great big, giant, "YAWN".

M$ is just trying to stay in the news and build hype around its next box that actually wont be out until the 3.5 Linux kernel.

B-F-D!

Here's a somewhat relevent question though:
Why do you Slashdot/Linux guys support BillG and his world domination quest by buying XBox at all? What happens when Sony and Nintendo are gone??? Then we're stuck relying on M$ to produce all the console videogames on Earth... oh God.

I've never contemplated sucide before, but that scenario makes me think twice..

Micro$oft would not be worth $5 if none of us bought thier crap.

Sorry guys, i'm not willing to ruin video gaming just so i can play Halo. Shesh. ..Brent

Re:Nintendo not just price strategy.
