In summary, the individual received 128 MB Ram sticks from a friend's dad and wanted to know if they could replace the standard 64 MB one in their XBOX. There is some debate about compatibility and the need for upgrading XBOX memory. It is possible to upgrade, but requires a special kind of RAM and soldering. The individual decides to wait for the Xbox 360 instead. A link to an upgrade for the XBOX is also shared.

So my friend's dad gave me a bunch of 128 MB Ram sticks and I was wondering if I can just simply replace one of these with the standard 64 MB one that comes with the XBOX. Anyone done something like this before?

I would say they'd be incompatable...

I can't be sure, but I'd say so.

And anyway, until now, I've never heard of anyone talk about upgrading their X-Box's memory, to me it seems there isn't reason enough to do so.

I mean, go for it and try if you can, let us know if anything cool happens...

Actually since I posted that thread I've done some reading. It is possible to upgrade, but you need a special kind of RAM, and you have to solder it on. So basically I'm saying, "Screw that, I'll wait for the Xbox 360".

Haha. Nice. Sometimes I feel like being a mad scientist with that stupid thing. Why can't Microsoft do anything right?
