    I read a thread earlier this year about a few guys down london who got themselv es an XBOX and attempted to overclock its 733Mhz CPU!

    I cant remember if the thread I read was on here but does anyone know if they have done yet?

    Thanx

    That's really sad. I know it's a PC in consoles clothing, but still, that's pathetic...

    Its not me trying to do it as I would not spend 500 quid on a console to take it apart and mess with its insides. I am asking if anybody knows whether the geeks have done it yet!

    Happy New Year!

    I dont either, it is fast enough already. Still want to know though out of curiosity!

    I know that they managed to increase the speed of data transfer from the CD rom inside, to the internal hard disk!

    If you want to overclock the X-Box, you can just buy an nForce 420 board and do the same thing, for a lot less money (nForce isn't quite the same as the X-Box, but it's pretty close---adopted for AMD chips)
