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?
