RUMOR: XBox GPU speed drop to 233 MHz

This is a stupid false rumor that only console fanboys and bashers should love. Just like the rumor ps3 will be out in 2002.

Still, it would be truly funny if this was true.....XBox fanboys bragging about specs and all....

hmm, its true to my knowledge

Production has proably not started if they are still changing specs

Nah, if this is true, then it must mean that MS gave out false specs in the beginning. X-Box needs to be in production if it wants to make the November launch.

If they were going to delay, they would not annouce a delay till the last minute so they can blame it on something. Well.. at least that would be what makes sense. the N64 when it was delayed, it was normally right before the expected date. People forget that MS is a delay addict.. they are historic delayers. Alot of their products were delayed. Their interactive TV product was delayed 8 months! let alone their OS\'s etc.

they won\'t delay, they absolutely cannot afford to do it, both GC and especially ps2 will have a head start over them. And remember that xbox is launching in europe in 2002, with a delay it will be pushed further back

about the CPU problem, I think that rumor is false, I read it on the ign.xbox forums, they comfirmed it was a communication error.. someone mistaking 250 mhz with 233 mhz

The fanboys of the ignxbox forum are of a differnt breed, don\'t belive a word they say... even the VIPs that go there.

I\'ll believe this rumor when it\'s reported by all the major Xbox sites. No, scratch that. I\'ll believe it when it\'s official and confirmed, instead of a simple rumor.
