Just to let you know.

Hardware Behind the Consoles - Part I: Microsoft's Xbox


edit: it's awfully quiet in ATOT now...

only us cool insomniac people are awake.

 

[Keego]

yeah, I'm doing homework that's due in 7 hours.... hmm sleep, what's that??

 

[The Stigenator]

finally..

now how about doing some on the game cube and the PS2.. its not fair doing it only on the xbox cause it would run windows (ok its got a P3 and a nvidia chip - need I say more).

Heh heh, I guess I'm one of those cool insomniac people, too!!!!

 

[Nefrodite]

insomniac well.. interesting article gotta say the ps2 is kinda wack.. design wise atleast.

 

[bozack]

That is a really good read...

I too notice what they are talking about in DOA3 and wish they had included 128mb system memory but whatever. it is not that big of a deal.

Hey Anand is supporting X-Box by doing an article on it ... Everyone else should too ... Forget all the console arguements ... Dump your GameCube's and PS2's ... Go X-Box!

(For anyone who didn't already realize this ... I'm only kidding, anand is doing 2 more articles one for PS2 and one for GameCube!)

<< The average seek time (the time it takes to get from one track to another random track) of the Seagate drive is 8.9ms while on the WD drive it is 12.1ms. >>


That seems a little weird. Even though I'm sure it makes no noticeable difference.

Gotta love that USB cable disguised as a 'breakaway cable'

I think Im gonna stick to my guns and hold out on buying the Xbox until a price drop. I already purchased a PS2 at $299 and I dont think my bank account could take another hit like that. The more I read these threads and articles about Xbox the harder this gets, however. I am trying to brainwash my GF into getting me a Gamecube for Christmas, hopefully this will hold me over until the price drops.
