Maybe. Remember, the CPU in the Xbox doesn't do out-of-order execution, which makes it really susceptible to pipeline bubbles. And emulators are really bad about generating pipeline bubbles. Let's say it's 10 times as fast as the Xbox. That's about right: emulations typically hit you with a 10:1 ratio and Microsoft says the 360 MAY be able to emulate the Xbox at full speed. So it's capable of emulating a 500 MHz G3. You can get a faster used Mac then that, for less than an Xbox. Nah, it's not interesting unless it can boot native. That's the $64,000 question. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
