The XBox was spanked hard by the 1800+ Athlon XP/GF3 combo I built last year... the new models coming out like the Athlon 2700+, with 8xAGP, GF4 (or faster) graphics, and DDR333 (or faster) memory are light years ahead of anything the XBox is capable of.

Just look at the Doom2 demo to see what these machines are going to do to gaming in the next year... near cinematic quality real-time rendered graphics... as an old timer (first PC was a TI-99) these boxes blow my mind.
