get on the Xbox forums mate - loads of people have expanded their memory - it's as easy as taking the hard drive that's in there at the mo out and putting a new one in - connects just as a usual pc connects to a hard drive - by IDE cable!

i'm not so sure about them running a pc style operating system, i always understood that the xbox could not run as a pc, like a pc can not quite run as a games console as well as the Xbox does, but get on the forums - they will know what's what - they really are the best games console in terms of what else it can do other than be a stand alone games console!

just been on one! waiting for some kind of reply...

I honestly dont have a clue about computers! i can strip a car down and rebuild it but i can not chip an Xbox!

hopefully it can run sat nav! otherwise it will stay as just a dvd/games console! :(

You can increase the HARD DRIVE SPACE on the X-bo-X however you cant increase the MEMORY it is.

u cant increase the memo on an xbox. but u can the hard drive. u will need a chip for the xbox to play linex. and u WILL have to soldier it as it will pop off if u dont. which mean either be very careful or pay some 1 to do it. like a model shop ect.

u can also run windows on an xbox not to sure how. but i have heard of it. to have sat nav u would need to convert one of ur ports in to a usb port for the dongle.

hope this helps.

p.s if u find a chip that can run linex or windows drop the chip name on here.

If you dont know how to do it your self i think your best bet would be to get some guy like this to do it:

http://sumo.ebid.co.uk/perl/objects/auction.cgi?auction=1100021577-11620-0&mo=auction

Its on another auction site (ebid.co.uk - a complete rip off of ebay). I haven't used them but it might be worth a look.

I have however heard that the mods can cause problems with the xbox and make the quality of games decrease (e.g. graphics). However i don't know if these are true or if microsoft just started them to try to persuade people not to do it.

i had my first x-box chipped for £50, it played copied games etc etc and was great for about 4 week then the machine kept going really slow, making a lot more noise and eventualy just refused to read any type of disc, of course once the case has been opened the warranty is fooked!



:) Bravo my son Bravo!! :)
