Has anyone gotten an Xbox 360 yet and put win xp on the hard drive. Theoretically shouldn't windows be able to run on a xbox 360. If so anyone have some benchmarks that they care to show??? I saw on anadntech that they dissected it to look inside the 360 which was interesting lot of work to get inside. I was wondering what scores xbox 360 gets and what 3d mark 2005 score it gets.???

Lol I dont think i'll try that.....

Too dumb and I dont wa nna break it

I needed to know if Xp can be installed on it and any benchmarks not a stupid response thanks for trying player but not what I needed

No, XP cannot be installed on the 360. If it were that easy to install and run xp on the 360 you would already know.

haha...

Where is this THEORETICALLY coming from. Cause it wouldn't work even if you suggested it would. Its not a PC and its not the Original Xbox. Modding xbox 360 is much harder now since all the parts are custom.

Dude, and one more thing, if it looks like a PC, Feels like a PC, doesn't mean its JUST A PC. 3dmark05 is FOR PC's only.

8O Where would you get the drivers from?

doesn't that defeat the point of owning a 360 over a computer?...

I think he wanted to do it to run 3dMark to compare the 360 to the PC.

Besides Xbox 360 has a Power PC chip in it similar to the one in mac's so yea no Windows XP on Xbox 360. heh if you wanted a computer you could have used the 800 bucks to buy a decent one

nice try TracerNick26, BUT no windows XP will NOT run on a xbox360. there are numerous reasons why it wont work.
first windows was written for x86 cpu not powerpc (ever see somebody boot windows xp on the non intel apples???)
hardware wise there are no drivers for the custom xbox 360 hardware even if they look like pc parts. without drivers, you'll be lucky if anything works.
IF you do want to run a OS on the xbox360, the safest option is probably linux/unix

SO YES THEORETICALLY it can be possible if MS puts support of XBOX360 for windows XP but there's like a possible of -100% that they would do that since the cost of rewritting windows XP is probably more then you make in you whole life or your life x10.

Ok, since XP is out of the question... could you put the PPC Mac OSX on it?

No it can not. For the same reason you couldn't on a Mac until recently when they changed to Intel chips. Before they used IBM.

Since it has the 64bit chip in it would it be easier to install XP 64bit? Or maybe just turn it into a MAC. lol

just buy a computer

Let's try to be a little bit constructive...

Windows (all versions) can't execute on a PowerPC chip - that rules out original Mac G series and more recent. Since the Xbox 360 is built upon a PowerPC chip, Windows XP can't execute natively. The rest of the software may be supported one way or another, but we can't even get there.

Mac OS 9 is PowerPC-centric. Same as above.

Mac OS X could be made to run on such a system, however PPC Macs require a custom Apple BIOS. They won't start on anything else.

Only PPC Linux with a custom bootloader (or a BSD Unix) may be compiled to run on these machines. Once you have those running though, you may want to try running an x86 emulator (such as qemu or VMware) to see if you can install WinXP on this - it will go at a snail's pace, and be very unstable and limited, but it might run.

Talk about stupid posts. For you to even post this questins/scenario is totaly retarded.

Do a little slef research/reading being you post retarded questions like that on this foruem.

Do a little slef research/reading being you post retarded questions like that on this foruem. I mean come on. Do you reall think that Microsoft, with all of it's resources, would be so stupid?

Well i am going to install DOS on it and when PS3 will be released i will install directX in it 8)

why on earth you would want to put XP on a 360 is beyond me!

casuse if you cant put windows onto a 360 and turn it into a pc, what was the point in getting the 360?

dude thats impossible. windows wouldnt no how to respond at all.
