Actually, no, it's not possible. The Xbox 360 uses three PowerPC G5 processors, which is what Apple used to use in Macs before they switched to intel. What this means is that in order for an Intel or AMD-based PC to run Xbox 360 games, you'd need a PowerPC emulator, which would be a massive drain on the system. You would need a really crazily high-spec machine to emulate 360 games at full speed. Ironically, an old PowerMac G5 tower would have an easier time running a 360 emulator simply because it wouldn't have to emulate a PowerPC processor.
What you saw as actually probably one of the following:
1) They had the 360 hooked up to a computer monitor (which is becoming increasingly common)
- - or - -
2) They were playing the PC version of a 360 game
is mine crazy enough i have
1 core i7 extreme
12 gb of ram
1.5 tb of memory
2 GeForce GTX 295
and the brand new windows 7 ultimate
Possibly, but it's iffy at best. Keep in mind that when emulating a modern CPU architecture, a large chunk of the performance is lost in instruction set translation. As an example, on my old single-core 2.1Ghz PowerPC-based iMac G5, emulated intel machines run at a speed roughly equivalent to a 600-800Mhz Pentium III.
PS: It's 1.5TB of
hard disk space, NOT memory. Typically the term "memory" in the computer realm is synonymous with RAM.
