The Inq: <a href="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11748&quot; target=_blank>Make your Xbox rock at 1.4GHz</a>

A FIRM on the show floor here in Taipei is offering the chance to buy an Xbox that uses a Celeron 1.4GHz/256K cache chip rather than the feeble 733MHz Pentium III that ships with the console.

Friendtech is also offering a mod for the Xbox which provides S-Video and A/V output, 5.1 surround sound and a hard disk upgrade.

The package it sells includes the console, a gamepad, an S-Video AV cable, a bag, a power cable and manuals. The chip inside this machine can be switched from a so called “standard speed” of 740MHz to a “turbo” speed of 1480MHz.

    Great for the XBoX, but I seem to have spent most of my time looking at the best of both worlds that I got on the same page:

    at first i was like :o that's awesome, but then i realized, really what does this do for an xbox? i mean great if you're running linux on it, but as far as games are concerned, the games are designed to be run on a 733 mhz cpu, so would you see any improvement? and isn't the cpu soldered on the mobo, how did they swap it out?
