Bob, <X-Box specs are already vastly superior to PS2> Not in my opinion. X-Box may be a step up from PS2, but that's about it. By the way, that comparison chart you linked to was put together by Microsoft marketing, so obviously they'll put their own spin on things. <Full Scene Anti-alias is particularly important as I hate the jaggies you currently see on PS2.> Yeah, I think this is one area that Microsoft (w/ nVidia) can exploit. My preference would have been T-buffering, but I guess a regular anti-alias algorithm is better than nothing. In any case, the processor still could use a boost. When games are running at 640x480 (i.e. low resolution from the POV of PC gamers), the CPU becomes the bottleneck, not the graphics subsystem. That's why Microsoft should really consider a faster processor, like a Pentium 4, or just a 0.13u Pentium III if power and heat are issues. Tenchusatsu
