OK OK,

What the heck is going on, XBOX has a 125M Polygonal performance rating.

And GeForce 3 Ti 500 has a 40M Polygonal performance rating and its only 10MHz slower than the XBOX GPU, what the heck! Is XBOX really NV25a?

Xbox rulz, bottom line. If you want a good ONLY gaming system, Xbox is the way to go. if you want features and flexibility, you have to suffer with the PC way of gaming, which isn't designed solely for the purpose of rendering/piping the data needed for that level of gaming.

But we get them close here :).

I was surprised to see this go unresponded. I thought I'd bump it for you as I have started wondering the same thing. It would seem that we could get our polygon count higher than a Xbox despite the reasons (which are based on minimal research/interest) above.

Since me and u both know that XBOX will be hacked and PC emulators will come out eventually. My question is, what kind of PC will we need to play XBOX titles flawlessly like N64 and PS1?

I hope my PC Qualifies!! yeppers man to that.

Well with ATI knocking on nVidia's back door I would imagine that we will se a NV25 based video card out soon.

AnandTech has a review of the new Radeon 8500, in it he was telling the difference between the chip used in the XBox and the chip used on the GForce Ti.

It made me wonder why nVidia didn't use the NV25 on the Titanium.
