You gota be kidding! You'll be able to use usb storage devices as ram? Wow! And the ability to run 360 games on PC?! Extra wow!

I agree this sounds really strange to me.

I know that X360 additional hardware works on windows vista but entire games sound strange to me. I think the x360 copy protection would require a special disk drive or at least a pretty new one.

Well I already have a 360, the real intresting thing to me is that thing about the ram. Though it may take me quite awhile to raise scratch like this.

The last part is PURE rumor that I've read some where. I know for a fact that USB keys can be used for RAM and I can back that up with lots of documents, but I'm still researching where I read the thing about Xbox 360. I am also sure that there is more RAM usable as well.

Like I said, it's just rumor untill I can provide a source.

Re: Andrew's Latest Gossip Rumor- Prices for Windows Vista and features!

the 360 thing...

how is that possible? the 360's laser in the CD drive is totally different to that in a PC drive... and its not DVD based. only way pos is if its through HD CD drives.. which i believe the next gen 360's will use.. but that would be a big big risk as pc's would have to be alot more higher spec...

and yes the ram feature is amazing.. always wished they used memsticks as ram.. and to read it is a reality is great imo.. Dx10 looks great too..

Re: Andrew's Latest Gossip Rumor- Prices for Windows Vista and features!

Memory sticks can be used as RAM? Is that possible? (I don't know all of the details as to how the different pieces of computer hardware so maybe one of you techies could explain it to me) tongue
