New Xbox is water cooled - it must fold

Wedo · May 15, 2005

The new Xbox is going to have three, 3.2Ghz IBM cpu's that are watercooled. So we have a trillion calcs per second on a gaming console with email/mp3 and other home media capabilities.

Someone, somewhere, must figure out how to make it fold.

Linky.

HEATPIPE!!!

But it would be a sweet folder.

Mmm. Cluster of Xbox 360s folding....

dude... if it can be made to fold, i'll skip the next nintendo machine and get the new XBOX..... then get the new nintendo machine just for mario, Legend of Zelda, Mario Kart, and Smash Brothers.

If you can get Linux on it, it should fold. It would definately be cool to get the folding.

If you were to search "xbox and folding" in this forum, you'd find a few dozen threads where people have brought this up. Hasn't worked yet, but the new box has 3 figgin' cpu's!!!

Hmmm, if it's able to be hacked like the previous XBOX was...then we're looking at a great cheap folder.

Basically, all we need to figure out is how to get a F@H client running on it, then we're set.

well i guess that after they saw what ppl did with their 1st console they are gonna probably have uber protection and stuff so we will only be able to do what they wanted it to do...
such a waste of POWER!

Wedo · May 15, 2005

Ok, before 9mm yells at me. It's not physically 3 cpu's. It's a triple core cpu with a hyper-threading function so you have essentially six core's running.

Hmmm.... a six core Xbox only One-Click. If someone can figure out the hack, FAH will benefit greatly.

Thank you for learning

Now, if we can get MS to install f@h on all the systems, and remove the powerbutton, it would be pretty sweet.

Steveo989 · May 15, 2005

what will ps3 be able to do then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it will have probably like 12ghz or something. Especially with that cell processor. Also you know it would be tight if consoles began implementing overclocking. Occording to some other site it will have a 40gig removable hdd as well and the graphics are simply amazing.

If they will fold, I'll buy the (folding) farm

Steveo989 · May 15, 2005

They will own at folding then because the systems won't be too expensive or no one will buy them. I'm guessing approx. $750.00 but probably 500 by christmas cheaper tech

this could be interesting....

Does anyone know whether or not you can fold on a power PC system. Becuase thats the Xbox2 is based on. It also potentially limits your linux to something like yellow dog.

Macaholic · May 15, 2005

Gosh! Now I wonder what would be similar to an XBox 360 at present time? Hmmm. Makes me wonder. Now what could it be?

You can run F@H on PPC, as long as you're using MacOS X. The Linux client is only for x86 systems.

Yup, PowerPC's are used for the apple group. I read some article discussing how Apple has a MacOS that will run on PC hardware just as Microsoft has a Windows version that will run on Macs (which are, as mentioned, powered by PowerPC).

Bunch of inbred freaks, but they're sneaky inbred freaks... reminds me of home.

Steveo989 · May 15, 2005

That article is right except for the 20gb Hard Drive, according to some aol thing it says 40gb

darkknight187 · May 16, 2005

all i can say is that if it's doable M$ will be paying for alot of folding boxes because it would definately be the cheapest way to setup a farm provided it can fold good.

I say they will pay alot because as we all know console producers pay more to make systems than they sell them for with hopes of making their money in games, but if everybody is buying them to fold they won't exactly be buying the games now will they...i guess billy can afford it
