I am confused. I am not a gamer, so I don't know much about this, but I
had always been led to believe that you need a high-spec PC to run the 
latest games. But the X-Box is supposed to be the mutt's nuts gaming 
box, and the above spec. is _very_ basic compared to modern PCs. If the
X-Box is basically a PC, how come it performs so much better on games 
than an equivalent or superior PC?
