Xbox server

[DancingEskimo]

KhaN about the ATA66 that is able to carry 66Mb/s although you will only get maybe 45-50 that is still plenty for any of this. Most will be run in the ram exept the DB and the DB for pretty much any server is only 25Mb about.

So if the hard drive could even keep up with the ATA then you could theoreticaly move your hole DB through the ATA bus in less than a second

console sux and dont allow LAN playing

Then what about Xbox's LAN connection? And the game Halo allowing 4 consoles with 4 people per console to play 16 man, 4 console, network games?

XBox Celeron has a 133Mhz FSB, an chipset is a mutant nVidia nFORCE providing a massive 800 MB/s of bandwidth. This make XBox much more powerfull than a basic PC Celeron

And I agree with you on that. And some of it is on hopes, and the rest well. Lies somewhere in my knowledge of computers. If you notice that with computers that have nice video cards like for say a 'Voodoo5' but only 700Mhz processor. (My current computer/Testing server) If I go to play Counter-Strike on that computer I do not get to hot of frame rates. But when I built my friends computer he had asked me before hand if I had a temporary video card he can use so he can get the rest of the computer and still use it.

I said sure and because my other video card is soldered with 1mm x 1mm beads of solder. I let him use my Voodoo5 for a few weeks, and we had put CS on his computer and were playing around on it and his computer runs it INSANELY good compared to mine and that is because he is running a Athlon XP 2200+ on his computer, and my parents computer when it had the Voodoo5 in it (Athlon XP 1800+) it also ran it great compared to mine and it has half the RAM that mine does now.

So that pretty much gives some examples of Graphics still relying greatly on the CPU and not just the GPU. Like so many video card companies want you to believe :twisted:

Ok now that I have filled your minds with useless information I will continue.

wouldn't you need to convert alot more ? Xbox uses *.xbe instead of *.exe
.. there goes world.exe and zone.exe, along with winmysqladmin.exe , not sure if .bat files work , etc. etc.

Well no not really it isnt so much the hardware that reads these it is the software. For example windows uses *.exe, Redhat linux uses *.rpm. So it is really the OS and if the Xbox is running linux then all I am doing is setting it up to run on linux.

But about all the consoles sucking and stuff. Just remember this isnt a console as soon as it is running linux, atleast in the gaming sense of console, now is it? :twisted:

[Edit] Also those thumb drives I mentioned I can also just use them for where the DB will be stored. Instead of on the hard drive. They may only get 1mb ~ 2mb/s but really if you look at the database and think about all the different things the hard drive addresses, and where all those things are it has to be basically playing 52 card pickup when all you have to pick them up with is 1 finger.

But with the thumb drive it is just like ram and can address things just like Random Access Memory can. So if it can get one small piece of data almost instantly and get it through the usb to the processor at almost the same speed of a hard drive because it is transfering so little data. But it can find something instantly and address it instantly so really it will be much faster.

I used to play Mp3 playlists off of them because I used to put my harddrive shutoff at 5 minutes when I go to bed to make them last a bit longer and I could switch songs and as soon as I clicked next the music for the next song was playing, and it isnt like they were cached in the ram because I already went through them it was the very first time I had even done it. (Also about the songs they were all 128Kb/s ~ 192Kb/s songs) So we know we can get that out of the thumb drive.
