In todays episode we install a socket 370 PGA370 and the Intel PIII 1.4Ghz 512K 133MHz processor Tualatin onto the original XBOX console. We'll be achieving the socket 370 attachment with the use of the open source interposer.
We'll be showing comparisons and footage of the 733MHz stock XBOX CPU vs the 1GHz and 1.4GHz CPUs that are in our upgraded machines. Game footage shown: Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Matrix Path of Neo, Surreal64 CE F-zero X, and KI2 arcade.
We know there will be an improvement, but do all of the games benefit from the CPU upgrade? Which games have the most glaring differences between the three CPUs?
Check out our previous CPU video where we install an Intel Slot 1 1GHz CPU onto the Original XBOX:

Somehow it feels wrong to see Half-Life 2 running smoothly on the XBox. Awesome upgrade.

@LRK-GT 24 дня назад

It was so smooth I was getting uncanny valley feels, myself. Mind you, I can go play HL2 @ 144fps (displayed) any time, and it doesn't look *that* smooth.

@JourG215 18 дней назад

The funny thing is the Xbox was a beast in it's day. So imagine what Nintendo and Sony where pushing back then.

@Chris-yy7qc 14 дней назад

Its crazy how badly HL2 ran. People paid a lot of money for an Xbox and the game and got this...

@Chris-yy7qc 14 дней назад

@@JourG215 The framerate was never an issue for the N64, because the games where designed to run on this exact hardware. Meanwhile the xbox ran mostly ported windows games. The hardware specs on the Xbox might be superior to the N64. But the N64 was way more optimized.

I was wondering if a Socket 479 Pentium M or Core Solo could be made to work? I know a lot changed in regards to the FSB between Pentium 3 and Pentium M, though... Ideally, the *very* last 32-bit P6-derived single-core CPU: 2007's 65nm 1.83Ghz Celeron Embedded; Sossaman (Yonah derivative) Intel Celeron; 1.83 GHz, 1M Cache, 667Mhz FSB.

@BK2Modder 24 дня назад

Finally, always wondered why I never saw anyone using one if the interposer designs to not just upgrade the CPU but to install a socket for future easy swaps. Really appreciate you performing this mod and documenting the process as nicely as you did!

@RetroRenegadeRepairs 24 дня назад

Its really just a matter of knowing your rework machine and adjusting the temps accordingly for the type of application you're working on. Thank you for the view and it was my pleasure.

@cromulence 22 дня назад

Insane. I really hope that the 256MB RAM mod can be made stable at 200MHz, or hopefully even higher. Both of these mods would open up so much on this machine. I’d imagine that whilst it’s not easy, it’d be totally possible to modify games and/or the OS to correctly utilise the extra RAM for the GPU - I imagine being able to play more games in 720p thanks to additional VRAM!

@atranimecs 20 дней назад

Dude... you are probably one of the only people in the world that I can do this to but *bows in a very over-the-top asto royalty style* Good sir, I bestow on you the title of "Dude with a better X-Box than my own" I am fully impressed.. I had what at that point was the be-all end-all xbox... even had the ram and 1ghz cpu mod done but that was in the days prior to interposers.. apparantly theres a mod that lets you change the 8mb ram chips (via interposer) to 16mb modules as well! My old box (which was lost to a flood like 6ish years ago) was like my favorite techy toy, I even went to the effort of sourcing one of those Xecutor LCD boards that I had mounted to a little sort of ear that stood off the top right of the console that showed clock speeds, temps, and info regarded the current loaded game or whatever... I wish I still have pics.. all I have today is the little board you used to re-flash different bioses :| but, amazing work and I am glad to see there exists passion for such a wicked console, even though us enthusiasts are all old and shit now :P "Back in my days ... " ugh I hate aging >.< Peace XD

Its kinda amazing how far you can push the original Xbox to be completely honest, like the amount of actual hardware upgrades you can make to console is insane and the difference it makes (especially in half life 2) is crazy. It takes hl2 from "i guess it's playable", to, "yeah this is totally chromulent"

@jabezhane 17 дней назад

It's good to see the games scale nicely in terms of smoothness with more CPU power. I remember back in the early 90's playing Wing Commander on a 33Mhz 486DX and it ran smoothly. I then got a 150Mhz Pentium in 1997 and loaded it onto that and it ran like 4x speed and was impossible to play.
