fyo, Re: "Exactly the point. Essentially, you could build an XBox clone using a P4 instead of a PIII. This would seriously boost performance."

But wouldn't this cost a LOT more than a loss-leader XBox? I guess you might also have an XBox clone which could also serve as a general use computer.

And would XBox games really benefit from a faster processor if they have been optimized for XBox? Basically, would you have the options to increase the game settings to a level far beyond the capabilities of the XBox?
