PGA370 Socket Install OG XBOX Holy Grail of XBOX Mods?

  • Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
  • 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:

      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.

    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!

    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 >.<
