That all sounds very logical, Programmer. Also, you should all remember that this xBox chip is a "Custom IBM processor based on the PowerPC range". This mean's that IBM could have take the G5 (or any other PowerPC) as a base and then removed any instructions/features that the XB2 is not going to use in order to simplify the chip. What you will end up with is a CPU that is very good and a much smaller number of things. (Bit like the GPU's from nVidia and ATI, etc)

OK, I have given up keeping this sig up to date. Lets just say I'm the guy that installs every latest version as soon as its available!
