ofcourse it's not perfect, but it's enough. xbox has a different stepping. so aslong a people post the cpuinfo on the cpu's that have been put in, it sould work fine. not going to do anymore advanced rutine when there is so few people upgrading the cpu.

Is XBMC actually going to make use of the extra processing power, or does this just change the way it is reported in the hardware tab?

Or put another way
if you are driveing 73 miles a hour you will travel 73 miles in a hour
if you are driveing 100 miles a hour you will travel 100 miles in a hour
just because there is a sticker on the dashboard saying
that you are doing 73 miles an hour doesnt mean you are
you have to look at the speedo to tell the true speed..
add to that the extra level 2 cache
its even faster..

I've been following the thread over at x-s too, and it looked like one of the guys was mentioning that even with the 1G CPU, he couldn't decode relatively low res H264 without using the new mplayer.
I'm debating trying to purchase one of these upgraded CPUs, but there appear to be mixed results with video playback.
Not trying to threadjack, I was just curious.

not sure i'd agree.. a cpu upgrade from 733 to a 1 ghz cpu would give you quite an advantage in decoding hdtv clips, i mean it's 30% speed increase + the extra cache (wich I think can have a huge benefit in h264 decoding).
720p xvids and ts should then play without any problems, if you also add the mem upgrade you suddenly have a hdtv cabable player (ie playback and display in hdtv resolutions), not the 1080i, but 720p should be just fine. 1080i might even work just fine in halfres mode.

@ Shonk,
Since it sounds like you have one, can you comment on how the 1 Ghz CPU handles 720p vs regular xbox?
