Powermac G5s at the Run the Xbox 360 E3 Show | |

In Microsoft's own Xbox 360 booth, we saw tons of kiosks running upcoming 360 titles that were actually playable. Games like Top Spin 2 and Need for Speed were playable, but for some reason they didn't actually look all that great for a next-generation console. Each kiosk had a wired Xbox 360 controller connected to it, running into the base of the kiosk that only had one small window showing off a Xbox 360 console. But the console itself wasn't on, looking at the right of the kiosk you get to see the actual power behind the demos. A pair of Apple Powermac G5 systems were actually running the Xbox 360 demos, not the 360 console. The consoles in the kiosks weren't actually running, they were just for show - now you know why all the controllers were wired. | ||

"Because the G5 systems can only use a GeForce 6800 Ultra or an ATI Radeon X800 XT, developers had to significantly reduce the image quality of their demos - which explains their lack luster appearance. Anti-aliasing wasn't enabled on any of the demos, while the final Xbox 360 console will have 4X AA enabled on all titles. "

| It will be really cool if Microsoft thinks 2 Dual G5's are almost as fast as one XBOX 360. |

| It was one Dual G5 per screen, there are two screens there if you notice ;o) Considering the Xbox is having 3 G5's its not a surprise. |

| 3 PowerPC-based cores. There's a difference. |
