what does that mean though, free upgrades for all? paid upgrades? two sets of specs floating around? basically identical machines that produce less heat? i mean they did say "faster"....

If this were true, then Microsoft would be screwing their customers, again :)

Actually... The truth is that the previous head of marketing for Microsoft was dyslexic. The original name was Xbox 390 (for the nm of the original processor)... Thankfully, however, they've fired him, since and are now going to be calling the newer Xbox's the 'Xbox 365' (once again named after the nm size).Kidding... But, it's possible. And yes... The smaller architecture does provide a performance lead in just about every category... Ever wonder why the conroe has a 20% lead on current processors (and I know there's more to this, but the architecture proves to be most important, still)?... Anyone?
