I switched the Xbox that had more memory but the memory dropped to exactly what the previous Xbox had.This confirms what i have thought for long enough now your poor over worked xbox will have to upsample all the backdrops to whatever your screen resolution is i am guessing it will be at least 1280x720. i am running it on a 28" 16/9 sd tv which i think is 480? and i have dropped all my back drops down to 480x270 and i am up to 35mb in home screen 25mb in tv shows screen and 20mb in movies all fanart switched on. so my thinking is your back drops would need to be sized as closely to your screen resolution as possible to avoid as little memory problems as possible in your case ? 1280x720 but my thinking may be well off does anyone know more about this?
The one with more memory was on a 19 inch TV and the living room Xbox is on a 42 inch TV...other than that, settings wise, everything is the same on the two Xbox's.
