Re: XBOX V1.6 with bad caps
Just for additional information:
Many years back, a company called FriendTech used to upgrade the CPU in the original xbox from a 733MHz Celeron CPU to a 1.4GHz P3. I think they called the upgraded XBOX a "DREAMBOX".
They had a patent for some kind of CPU adapter:

On another note, the 128MB ram upgrade is a cool idea, but no stock xbox games would ever make use of the upgraded RAM, because they were programmed only for 64MB. The full 128MB would probably be used by emulators and XBMC.
If memory serves, I think the RAM upgrade from 64MB to 128MB should also be accompanied by a software setting to tell the system to use the extra RAM, otherwise doing the hardware mod by itself may yield no improvement... Correct me if that is not the case because I don't remember much about it now.
