Hi, as you can probly tell by looking at my user name I'm a nintendo fan boy. I liked the gamecube but the more I look into the wii the less I like it. I dont want to be stuck with a 800mhz single core wii with 60 MB of RAM for the next 5 years. So I will be getting a 360 because I think that ms has and edge over sony.

I know the 360 has over heating problems. When will the 65nm chips arrive in the 360? Will they have a speed bump?

I think watercooling is a effective cool way to solve the problem, the only kit costs $394, thats too pricy. Could I buy just the water blocks and pipes for $110 and connect them to a different pump/radiator? Whats the cheapest pump/radiator that can cool the 360?

I run win xp pro. What limitations will I have with connectivity? Can I browse the web with the 360? Also can it run simple programs like AOL AIM?

thank you all for the help.

ok so i'll forget about water cooling. Can you get upgraded heatsinks or fans?

Also I run win xp pro. What limitations will I have with connectivity? Can I browse the web with the 360? Also can it run simple programs like AOL AIM?
