Yep, you heard it, with the iminent release of the fully fledged Geforce 4 Ti4600, Microsoft have combined with Nvidia to offer Xbox gamers the first hardware upgrade for their 6 month old Xboxes.
Quote from a Microsoft insider "The Xbox is a massive console, quite literally, and because of this, we need to upgrade all the fake components with the "real" ones as soon as we have made enough of them to go around."
It is expected these upgrades will be free, and may even be placed inside the boxes of European models on launch. The kit also comes with a soldering iron and a pair of safety goggles. Microsoft have, however mistakenly packaged the UK bound units with French fitting manuals, and it is not expected to replace these until the 1st April 2003.

lol I wonder if opening your X-box will void the warranty?
