Extra Fan Recommendations

Right on, XBMC will get a boost from the CPU performance but from what i understand it does not take advantage of

the added ram. It will register that the ram is there and available but from what i read the GPU cant use the extra ram

so XBMC will not. I think the Jmarshall said along time ago that if anyone was willing to donate a box with 128mb ram he

would look into it but that was a while back and i dont think he'd be willing to do this now. Maybe some one at the new

xbmc4xbox.org forums would take the challenge.

TSOP's come in two different flavors, 256k or 1MB in size. 1.0-1.1 Xbox's have 1mb TSOP chips. 1.2-1.5 have 256k TSOP chips.

 

Bios to use on a 1.0-1.1 xbox-has to be 1mb in size

X2.5035_1MB

 

Bios to use on a 1.2-1.5 xbox-has to be 256k in size

iND-BIOS.5003

X2.4981_256k

 

Overall i can only speak for X2 bios's and they have been solid for me. Customizing is very easy, usually a pc based app that is cake to use.

I've heard alot of good things about ind-bios though so read up on that and see if it would better fit your needs.
