Yet even more of my claims come true

This is why I thought we should wait. It wouldn't matter, Epiphany, even if you were right. It's simply unseemly to gloat in the first place and it's silly to gloat before the match is over.

 

I don't say that with any animosity. Imagine how much worse it would be if I had not edited your original comments? You'd have a whole year of crow on which to dine.

 

Please, folks, be adult and reasonable about these consoles. Don't go vendetta on each other over a gaming rig.

Uhm.. A 286 could do DirectX10 with the right emulation software. That still doesn't mean its hardware supports DirectX10. Same with the Xbox 360, it will have to emulate some parts of the DirextX10 specifications. It will be slower, but it will still have the same functionality (probably).

Let's see if the Profit Man shows up to defend himself.

He never does.

Yesterday we reported on a rumor suggesting that ATI could make the Xbox360 Xenox graphics chip run DirectX 10. It was highly unlikely, and ATI han now cinfirmed that. A spokesperson from ATI says:

Does anyone else get the tune for Elton John's Rocket Man whenever they see Profit Man?

 

 

As for the emulation, I imagine it'd be a real bugger. The 286 is a 16-bit processor, so it'd probably have to find ways to split instructions. Depending on memory constraints, you might need an outside memory manager to deal with extra addressing.
