snipping much

Just imagine what it could mean, with Microsoft now included, If
Windows XP 64 runs not only on Xbox, but also on Playstation 3 !?
or even on Nintendo game consoles?

That would be quite an historical turning point.

You got carried away. Certainly, if the Xbox2 chip is a 440 core plus
lots
of SIMD, you can forget about emulating Xbox1 games.

Why? Emulation of x86 on PPC is fairly well know to work.

....s...l...o...w...l...y....

Emulating a ~700 MHz PIII with a 440, so that the difference wouldn't be
too
painfully obvious, would be very difficult. Having copious SIMD resources
is
no help.

Very possible if most of the time that PIII is executing
OS / library code... FX!32 all over again. Old hat.
