youll have to join up the gap where REF=15&newsFormat.REF=9&featureType.REF=1 starts , just after the full stop cos you cant post more than 70 characters without a space in the post, !!!!!!
see what all the tech specs really mean when there tested, cos on paper they dont mean anything

Both consoles have different graphic capabilitys. But your right, hes forgetting the hard drive, internet capability - whole new dimension in gaming.
Yes, I've seen those specs in many a place and yes, it is true. Factually, the GameCube can match the X-Box, but specs isn't all the X-Box has going for it. Think built in hard drive, etc. You're making a fool of yourself boxcar_fanboy.

I don't know what to believe nowdays.
The initial specs (the ones that everyone's seen) seemed to show that the Xbox far out-did the Gamecube, only it was then revealed that the Gamecube was just what Nintendo estimated the average develloper would get out of it in a game while the Xbox's specs were based on the maximum raw capabilities of the different parts.
So, people tried to compare them properly but each one came out with something different.
Yes, the Xbox had a faster processor but apparently the Gamecube's out performs it because it has faster cache and RAM to feed in code and variables to process.
Yes, the Xbox pushes more polygons but this polygon count supposedly suffers when lighting effects and water effects come into play while the GC handles them like nothing.
And there's another load that seem to think the Xbox is better.
I think any advantage the Xbox has is down to the hardrive.
That gives more storage space, allowing for more ambitious save file sizes while the GC has to make do with a 512Kb memory card (although Panasonic's 64Mb SD Memory Cards might be a reasonable alternative).
I think that the Xbox has advantages in some areas while the Gamecube has advantages in others. If a multi format game comes up, the format which it is optimised for gets the best version.
Even the PS2 version can out-do the Xbox/GC version if the game is optimised for the PS2 architecture.
Besides, the power difference between the 3 consoles is almost negligible.
What counts is what devellopers make out of it and that's where Nintendo's greatest strength lies - imaginative and innoative games.

Seeing as your name is boxcar_boy maybe you really are suited to the gamecube..
Shut up, stop spamming and if you look at xbox specs (which you probably have'nt) you'll understand that the xbox is the more powerful console.
