Yeah, a new one would... but you can get one that is visibly nice for rather cheap.

How? I don't mean to ask for a step by step build but the processing power alone would be hard to match.

That, and Xbox wont match the broadband service that PCs offer. You are always going to experience lag on console online because the servers arent that great.

Adrics processor clocks higher than the speed of an Xbox 360 processor. My computer runs faster than a Xbox 360 Processor.

Alienware machines are pretty high advanced also, well before ps2 or xbox came out.

Yes your computer is faster then an Xbox 360 processor, but you forget the 360 has three processors.

While the Xbox 360 has 3 core 3.2 processors, my AMD 64-Bit 3500+ will run just as fast.

No, you cant get them for $400, but not much more, or for the price, you can get one that will outdo the 360 in a heartbeat.

Your AMD 64-Bit 3500+ isn't an XBox, so no... you aren't as cool
