AI Thread Summary
Upgrading the RAM in an original Xbox with 128 MB sticks is generally considered incompatible with the standard 64 MB RAM. While some users express curiosity about attempting the upgrade, it requires specific RAM types and soldering, making it impractical for most. There is little demand or precedent for such upgrades, leading many to suggest waiting for newer consoles like the Xbox 360 instead. Overall, the consensus leans towards the difficulty and lack of necessity for upgrading the Xbox's memory. The discussion highlights a mix of curiosity and skepticism about the feasibility of such modifications.

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 can't be sure, but I'd say 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?
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
