The XBox 360 Graphics Processor
The XBox 360 Graphics Processor
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mac_Jones]Mac Jones
The XBox 360 from computer giant Microsoft was launched in 2005 as a successor to the original XBox games console. At the heart of every gaming machine are the two main processing elements, the central processing unit (CPU) and the graphics processing unit (GPU). In this article we take a look at the 360's GPU.
The graphics processor is responsible for the picture drawing capabilities of the console and basically takes the raw data from the game and turns it into stunning high-resolution images. By dealing with the bulk of the graphics processing the GPU frees up the CPU to deal with other tasks.
The GPU in the XBox 360 is called Xenos and was custom designed by graphics experts ATI, who have many years experience with PC based graphics cards. Xenos contains two separate silicon chips, each with a clock speed of 500 MHz and sharing 10 MB of DRAM for the main memory. The GPU is manufactured by the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, one of the largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world.
While a 500 MHz processor combined with 10 MB of DRAM provides plenty of power for the 360, the main feature of the GPU is that it uses unified shader architecture.
Shaders are like filters that are applied to the bare 3D objects that have been rendered by the GPU. Their purpose is to make them look more realistic when they are displayed on your screen. Shaders can be divided into two types, pixel and vertex shaders. Pixel shaders adjust the lighting, colour and surface textures of each pixel in order to manipulate the look of 3D objects that are constructed from these pixels. They often serve to smooth out the basic 3D objects to give them a more realistic look.
Vertex shaders process the basic graphics produced by the GPU in order to add special effects to objects in a 3D environment. They do this by performing mathematical operations on an objects vertex data, which is in simple terms its position in relation other objects in the picture, its colour and its texture. By manipulating these values an object can be made to look different to suit the environment it is being displayed in or the requirements of the games developers.
These shaders make billions of computations every second in order to achieve the required output. Traditionally the two types of sharer had to be processed one after the other, meaning complex graphics took at lot of resources to generate. This is where ATI's unified shader architecture comes into play as with this technology both shader types can be processed at the same time. This allows the XBox 360 to process 48 billion shader operations per second, giving it unprecedented graphics processing power on its release.

With wireless controllers, on-line gaming, an integrated DVD drive and surround sound, the Xbox 360 is not just a games console but the ultimate in home entertainment hardware.

Before You Buy - An Xbox 360
Before You Buy - An Xbox 360
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jordan_Drew]Jordan Drew
Before purchasing the "next generation" video game, there are a few things that should be taken into consideration. The Xbox 360 is the latest attempt from Microsoft to control the giant that Sony has dominated for the past several years. With a three-core IBM processor at it's heart, this thing appears to be a wild animal waiting for it's release. Without getting too technical, the specs on the Xbox 360 easily eclipses any piece of gaming equipment around today, with the exception of some of the $4k-$5k high-end gaming PC's.
The first decision you have to make is whether or not to spend and extra $100 on the official Xbox 360 or take the cheap way out and grab the "core". I think you can assume what my recommendation is but for those unaware don't waste your money on the core system. The core, at a suggested price of $299, includes the system, a wired controller, basic video cables, and that's pretty much it. For those that chose to be a bit more dollar wise, the $400 Xbox 360 includes the system with chrome details, a wireless remote, a wireless controller, HD component cables, and the 20 GB hard drive. The latter of the two options would be more than $650 if purchased separately.
The second decision you must make, is if you are going to really jump into the next generation or if you are content with your current television situation. Personally, I went HD over two years ago and there is not in turning back in my horizons. At minimum, you need an HD-capable set in order to fully experience what the next generation of gaming has in store. My current set-up (pictured below) includes my Xbox 360 being displayed on a 32" Olevia Flat-Panel LCD and the picture in one word is MIND-BLOWING. If you have the finances, don't chinch on what type of display is showing these beautifully rendered graphics. Just as a test, I set up my 360 on the last "standard" television I have in my home and to be honest, it didn't look to bad. But once I set it up on my High Definition set, my heart felt at piece and my eyes were finally able to relax and soak in the beauty. The level of detail on an HD set compared to traditional makes the Xbox 360 a must have for ANYONE that has and HD television.
The last thing to consider is the game lineup. I purchased my Xbox 360 the day it launched (how is another story) and with it I bought: Madden 2006, Call of Duty 2, Need for Speed, Perfect Dark Zero and NBA 2K6 (I'm not rich, it's called credit). To my surprise Perfect Dark Zero and Call of Duty 2 quickly stood out as the better games graphically and had pretty good game-play. If you've ever played a first person shooter such as Halo, there shouldn't be any problem popping these in without much of a learning curve. NBA 2K6 is definitely a must-have and is leaps and bounds better than it's Xbox predecessor. Madden and Need for Speed were pretty disappointing considering they seemed to be ports from the original Xbox and nothing more. The line-up, as of now, is still in its infancy and is not enough to make you HAVE to own this system immediately. However, I'm a gaming nut and I would have been extremely disappointed had I not had this system on launch day.
Recommendation: Purchase this system as soon as it is financially viable. The killer apps are in the pipeworks!

One Red Light on Xbox 360 - How to Fix It!
One Red Light on Xbox 360 - How to Fix It!
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=David_Crane]David Crane
It has been one of the great innovations that was discovered and is very popular to the people when it comes to gaming consoles. In every amusing thing that a game console could bring, there are errors that may occur from time to time. Problems with Xbox 360 game consoles can be resolved easily and at the same time, if you read the proper step by step guide, you would be able to fix the one red light error that occurs in your console in a snap of a finger.
The most common problem encountered by the crowd is the e74 error code, known as the one red light flashing on your Xbox 360. I know you have the same problem too and I was able to resolve this one as I got the manual on how to fix it in just a few minutes. The error of the one red light on Xbox 360 generally means that the chip responsible for converting the game into a high resolution interface got burnt. Let's just say it simply crashed and gave up on his task to provide you a good performance.
We never want to invite these kinds of error to occur to our game consoles and the best way to fix and avoid this one is to treat your Xbox 360 with proper care. How? Place them on areas where there is enough air for it to ventilate, the cooler the temperature, the less instances that it may overheat. After placing them on the right area, assure that you allow your Xbox 360 to also take a break so that the heat will subside, allowing your console to function without getting crashed or overheated.
Another option for fixing this one is the means of trying to refresh your console by unplugging all of the cables while it is off, at the same time, you can unplug and reinsert your memory card and hard disk to refresh all the important parts of your Xbox 360. Once you have replugged and turned your console on, you can check again if the one red light on Xbox 360 is still flashing. If it isn't flickering anymore, you have fixed it yourself and if it still does, you can look for repair manuals or have it shipped to be repaired with the manufacturer.
