just a small correction, on your xbox specs list, it lists the Xbox main processor as an Intel Pentium III, but when my xbox blew up, I ripped off the heatsink to find a Celeron 733..... Don't know if this is true for all of them, but that is what I had.....

The truth is that originally Microsoft had a Pentium inside. In order to cut down the price they used Celeron later.
I changed the line to: "CPU: X86-to-RISC Intel Pentium III or Celeron 733 MHz"
 

M.H.A.Q.S.

At IGN.com it says "733 MHz chip crafted by Intel".
Then Lefteris is correct.

Suckthismeat where do you live?
It might be a region issue, perhaps!!.

But at Xbox.com the specs still say "An Intel Pentium III, 733 Mhz".

At the time I post this the latest version is Xbox 1.5
All these versions have had hardware changes to both cut down the price and make older modchips useless. What you find inside your console is based on the version.
