you answered it yourself.
from those 2 quotes you see that the main component that has isues with decoding 720p htv is the cpu (as apparently even with the friendtech upgrade, you cant decode 1080i, so the only resolution that youd get for the upgrade is 720p). no where does it say that upgrading the ram will help, even then the cpu cant decode those streams. so just go ahead and get the dreamx if decoding 720p content is that important to you.
what exactly, besides a few clips from ms on thier website, do you plan on watching on the xbox that has that 720p resolution?
Quote:"xbox only has a 733mhz intel pentium-iii cpu which does not have the processing power to decode those hdtv-media-resolutions "
and the solution is:
"dreamx-1480 from friendtech, which has a 1480mhz pentium-iii that is capable of decoding hdtv-media up to 720p"
