What is the purpose of flashing it and switching stuff around on them? Do they run faster and get better picture? ---

Do they run faster and get better picture? nah, there is no point in making xbox’s faster, i think thats so silly because all the games are meant to run on the exact hardware specs of the xbox, so making performance cooling or something is retarded some people like to run linux on the xbox but for me, i just dont wanna pay 70 bucks for games, so i rather rent games, or download games, burn them to dvd and play them… thats the only reason why im messing with it, cuz i wanna be a pirate haha ---

It worked for a long time but the red rings came back (overheating) so now were going to water cool it and might make a full blown arcade system with it, depends if I have time with all the other winter projects I’m lining up. ---

So I have a bunch of cooling stuff so we’ll give it a try. ---
