Some Interesting Details on Microsoft's Gaming Console, the X-Box next-generation.com >>>>>>>>>>>begin quote<<<<<<<<< Next Generation magazine has uncovered more details on Microsoft's secret console. October 4, 1999 According to the magazine the new system will be a non-upgradable closed box, built using top-of-the-line PC components including a 4 Gb hard drive. Like Dreamcast, the new console's output will be either via a TV or a VGA monitor leading some people to call it a junior PC. We all know the current name for the secret console is X-Box but the development program is currently going under the name of Mariner. An AMD Athlon has been hinted at being the processor powering of the machine while sources at Advanced Micro Devices have said the OS will be a customized version of Windows 2000 and not a modified version of Windows CE.
