Exactly, You cant even buy a motherboard that supports two processors for that much. considering the way the x-box is built, they would lose TONS of money doing that, Besides, I'd just scavange the procs out of em anyways

I'd bet neither of them will have procs faster then 2ghz.

So very true. For example: an AMD Athlon running at 2.4GHz can outperform a Pentium 4 running 2.8GHz.

As for the whole heat/noise/dust issue, you really think they'd develop a chip that runs that hot and not come up with decent cooling? If the make the intelligent desicion and use copper heatsinks, they'll be quieter than you think. As for dust, open your PC: the dust in there could fill a hoover bag. Comparatively, consoles are uber-clean.

And cost won't be a big deal. PS1 on release: £300. PS2 on release: £300. Get the feeling PS3 on release will be £300? SImilar for the XBox.

ill be getting an Xbox 2.
I currently own a ps2 and an xbox, i favor my xbox.. Although ive needed to replace its shitty drive..

Anyone know if the X2 will be backwards compatible yet? I heard it wouldnt be. Also the hard drive would be dependant upon weather the ps3 had one (Xbox lost money on every console it sold due to the expense of the hard drive and pressures of keeping up with competitors) But they make it back on games..
