@sam9s
again sorry for late response
regarding Upscaling players seeing is beliveing thats what i meant
you wanna have a xbox360 !! when you already have 7800gt!
dear pardon me if you feel im creeping in
ok back to business
MS(MICROSH$T) XBOX 360 IS A CRAP its just meant for plum kids !
let me start with technical specifications
main memory:512mb 700mhz gddr3 ram (unified memory architecture)
graphics memory:10mb embedded dram
cores: 3.2 ghz x 3 symmetrical elements
1mb L2 cache
ibm powerpc microprocessor
graphics chip:custom ati chip at 500mhz
hard drive : 20gb
hd support : hd dvd supported ;all games supported at 16:9,720p
xbox 360 hd dvd addon peripheral costs 200$ in us
bad thing is that hd dvd accesory is just meant for watching hd videos,not for playing game discs
but ps3 allows that too with blue ray disc
now consider the total cost for that hd dvd playback on xbox & 720p gaming when you already have 7800 gt with you and after that think of new gpu for hd gaming with that money !!
soon prices of blue ray & hd dvd drives for pc would slash down thats silver lining for htpc
if you closely look at models at
www.moneual.com they closely match your current rig
i think you got my ideal!!
good luck brother
