ACTUALLY.....The xbox has 4 USB Ports. ( the controller ports) but I don't believe they are USB 2.0
So, no......I don't think it would work. What WILL work on the xbox ( except 1.6 versions) is a RAM Upgrade. Go from 64 Mb to 128 Mb......Tutorials for this are at Xbox-Scene.

Why would the RAM upgrade be "useless"? Not questioning your answer.....just wonder why it wouldn't help with the RAM issues that people run into with things like running in 720p with MediaStream and FanArt enabled. No HD playback....just dash in HD. I'm sure you have read these posts, including some of my own regarding low RAM.

readyboost gains ere negligable on vista anyway. it just raises CPU usage for usb data transfer to memory thats still not as fast as any actual RAM would be
as far as the actual ram upgrade on the xbox, have fun finding the modules, i'd like the find some myself, im not sure my soldering skills are up to par though anyway

I've got a couple of spare 1.0 and 1.1 boards to use as "parts". Was going to get a working 1.0 and do an upgrade....but if it isn't going to help ( as althekiller says) then I'm not going to bother with it.

I cant see why not having more memory isn't a good idea as this would increase the skins performance and playing capacity ( only if the skin uses to much memory ) Mediastream on 720p with all bells and whistles turned on ( none leite or new texture.xpr version ) also you could play mame emulators
ia currently trying to get a motherboard with 128mbs of ram as i can solder for shit lol and i have 3 dead xboxs that i could take the memory from.

Been spoken about so many times... even with all that free memory the xbox will crash after the 64MB mark is passed especially on video, 128mb isnt the answer for 1080i playback..... support was written in for it to display the correct amount of memory but as far as video playback and more horsepower for skins it will make no difference Non of the dev except Gamester17 have 128mb Xboxex (IIRC Gamester has a DreamX) so cant see it ever getting looked at... JMarshall did offer to take a look at 128Mb machine IF he was sent the hardware... but what came of that I have no idea and with the slowing of Xbox development I doubt he will now, I maybe wrong.

Wondering if it possible to use something like Tversity with XBMC on xbox like ppl use it for PS3. Meaning the decoding is done on the computer and then sent to the xbox...with this can xbox play 720p or better content?

I'll build an HTPC when I amass a big enough HD Library, so my questions DO NOT CONCERN hi-def playback.....but I want to get my XBMC ( on Xbox) running as smooth as possible with MediaStream. By this I mean, I need to know if just dash display and performance will improve with the RAM upgrade. Some say yes. Some say no. I wish there was a definitive answer.
so could a developer give us a answer to this please and end the debate once and for all.
