Xbox spec details
InsideXbox Graphics. Want to know more about the Xbox specs? Dr. Dobb's Journal has a detailed report by Microsoft programmer Michael Abrash. Here's a quote:
The best thing about Xbox is that it won't change. Ever. Judging by other consoles, Xbox should have a four or five year run, and wonderful as the profusion of constantly evolving PC technology is, I love the idea of being able to spend years working with a high-powered, fixed platform -- figuring out how to apply all that programmability, understanding the performance quirks, getting things right.
The HBO Spin: Four to five years is a long time in gaming history. Five years ago 3D gaming engines were only coming on stream. Will the Xbox's four or five year run restrict gaming development? (Ding 11:29:24 UTC) (permalink)
