beim grafik-prozessor wirst du evtl. auch ein prob haben, is ein custom nvidia chip... (auch wenns quasi ein gf3 MX is...)
Is the NV2a the same chip in the GeForce3?
No. The GeForce uses an NV20.

k, es ist also keine gf4 und keine gf3, sondern liegt dazwischen...
It's a graphics chip with integrated north bridge logic-the Xbox CPU interfaces directly with it, and it provides all memory access (for the graphics chip and CPU. In terms of features, it's very similar to GeForce3, but it does have a few additional features unique to Xbox, since it's not a PC part and doesn't have to stick exactly to DirectX 8. They couldn't say what those features are, and aren't likely to start talking about the inner workings of the chip since it'll never appear anywhere except inside an Xbox. It does have much higher polygon pushing performance, though, for starters. It's also interesting to note that they could make a lot of nifty timing optimizations that they could never do on a PC. Since they know the exact clock speed and bus width of both the CPU and memory, they can actually optimize the chip for those timings and see quite a significant performance increase.
