People have enough problems w/ 400GB HDD and higher, so a HDD of that size would literally be pointless. As for the RAM, I don't want to say that would be impossible to upgrade it to 1GB, but I think it is damn near close. The one thing I know you can do is upgrade your 64MB ram chip w/ a 128MB ram chip. It's to bad that everybody who does this finds out the hard way that it is in NO WAY WORTH the troubles of installing this chip because you can't tell a difference, even when playing roms, which is why most people upgrade it in the first place.
Playing games off of the HD is fast enough, and I wouldn't worry about upgrading your systems mobo parts, because it is to risky and not worth the troubles.

a 3tb hdd hasn't even been invented yet, for one. for two, i looked at the upgrade options a year or two ago, and the only things that would benefit from a memory upgrade would be memory-aware applications. last i knew, that was mame (for larger roms) and a handful of patched games. and, as i remember, the only reason the xbox was upgradeable at all, is because x-sceners figured out specifically what type, manufacturer, etc. the memory/processor was, and found a match from those manufacturers for a slightly upgraded version of each. you should probably read a little further into this type of upgrade and what it entails before you start making up hard drives. you're also dreaming if you think you can just stick a pentium 4 and a couple sticks of ddram in that board. i know for a fact that you have to solder those little ram chips in there yourself, to begin with, and that's a pincount in the high double/triple digits.
edit: UGH. SERVERS USE RAID SETUPS, WHICH USE MULTIPLE HARD DRIVES. ON TOP OF THAT THEY'RE MOSTLY SCSI/SATA DRIVES, NOT LOCKABLE EIDE DRIVES.

xboxdevil, yeah, install a mod chip, preferably the Xecuter 3ce as it is the most supported chip about. There is no point upgrading anything else but the hd. upgrading ram is pointless as 99% of games will not benefit from the upgrade. Upgrading the processor is pointless aswell, for the same reason as the ram. & if you think you can just install a 3tb hd(Which currently does not exist) you have got to be kidding. You would run into some huge errors, it is just too much space for the xbox to manage. Try not to go over the 400gb mark.

unless you're running alot of emulators or linux....the ram idea is silly,the games are flagged to use 64meg (actually more like 48...the ram is shared) There is a tool to remove the flags so that the 128 upgrade is used....but still that's more for the emu's and linux and such. The hdd idea is about the only thing I wuld back you up on here....but still,what the hell would you need 3TB for anyways. If you were ging to build a server,why with an xbox? No need for mobility....all the same,good luck and keep us posted.

Why the hell would you want to put your PS1 & PS2 games on the xbox's hd. seems kinda pointless to me, seeing as how there isn't a ps2 emulator out for the xbox yet.

Hehe, my replie had already been typed for me by a guy on another xbox forum. How Nice.
Quote:
do you have a brain in your head?? I've read some really stupid crap. There is NO PS2, GC, DC emu's and there never will be.
- the following was Posted by deusprogrammer on xboxscene in the emulation forum..
I am by no means an expert on the subject but I know how emulation works. I wanted to write this as a topic that could be pinned for newcomers to read before they start asking for PS2, Gamecube, and DC emulators.
Every system has it's own unique and different hardware. And each system has it's own individual coding methods and SDKs. So obviously you can't just play a PS2 game on the XBox and so on. Because the coding is different and written for a different set of hardware.
What an emulator does is recreates the specific hardware for another system with software. And then that software runs on the hardware of the host system. So just imagine for a second. Two systems that are just about on par with each other as far as speed goes. The only way to get full speed would be to have the true hardware for the system. Software could never hope to emulate a system that is close to the same speed as the host hardware. For a good example, think of hardware rendering vs software rendering...which is faster? The hardware of course.
Another way to think of it is when you put a game in your PS2, the game just runs right off the hardware. If you were trying to emulate it on the XBox, first it would go into the software and have it's code and commands changed to the native language of the XBox, and then that new code would be run. And being that the systems are so closely matched in speed, the emulation would be very, very, very unplayably slow. And the problem with PS2 emulation is there really isn't even a working one for the PC yet.
Now why can older systems be emulated? Because compared to a PS2, their hardware is very simple to manage with an emulator. The XBox can manage the code fast enough to keep the game going at a steady clip. I know this isn't an in depth explanation, but I thought I would put it in laymen's terms.
Basically...here is the gist of what I just said...PS2, Dreamcast, and especially Gamecube emulation is not going to happen on the XBox. It just can't handle it. Granted one could be made, but it would be so slow and ugly it wouldn't even be worth the effort.
Anyways...case closed...after reading this there should be no reason for anyone to ask questions about why PS2 emulation can't be done.
Yeah... What ^he^ said

i do have a brain in my head and an IQ of 142.as for the ps2 it runs at 300mhz the xbox runs at more than double the speed and the gamecube is even slower.although ps2 emulators work on very few games they can still work and once a programmer gets one to work flawlessy you will hear about it.if you could get the xbox to run an emulator which is identical to a modded ps2 technically it should work,as for the DC and GC theres no point in emulating them as they are about $20 to buy and have crap games anyway.as for you bubba 1982 get your own words and stop copying what other people say.do you have a brain or do you just copy and paste things you see to try and sound intelligent.

I didn't bother typing all that out myself because what is the point. I would just be saying the same thing in different words.
Xbox and PS2 have been out for how many years now..... And they have been modded for how long... And after all this time why hasn't a programmer managed to get a ps2 emulator working on the xbox? Oh thats right BECAUSE IT CAN'T BE DONE.
The bloke I copied the info from didn't say that the xbox was an inferior machine as far as hardware is concerned. What was said is that due to DIFFERENT hardware on both machines it is impossible for either machine to emulate the other. I mean the xbox even has some problems running some arcade roms.
For somebody with a supposed I.Q. of 142 you act like a friggen child. Now grow up or F*** off numbnuts.

At a guess I would say there is about 300 games for the xbox. Roughly. I might have a look for a list in the morning and find out.
