We have seen quite a few different mods here at Geeky Gadgets, but this latest one from WillUDesign has to be one of the coolest we have ever seen, the OS Xbox Pro Mod.
The OS Xbox Pro Mod is based on an EFI-X hackintosh dongle, and it has a 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 16GB SSD, an NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT graphics card, and four HDDs, one of which is used to boot Windows 7 and one for Mac OS X.
Technical Specifications and Performance
The other two HDDs are in a RAID0 array for video editing, which significantly boosts the read and write speeds, making it ideal for handling large video files and complex editing tasks. The NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT graphics card ensures that the system can handle graphic-intensive applications and games with ease. This combination of hardware makes the OS Xbox Pro Mod not just a gaming console but a powerful workstation capable of multitasking and running demanding software.
The 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 processor is a robust choice, providing ample processing power for both gaming and productivity tasks. With 8GB of RAM, the system can handle multiple applications running simultaneously without any lag. The 16GB SSD, although relatively small by today’s standards, is used for quick boot times and efficient system performance.
Versatility and Customization
One of the standout features of the OS Xbox Pro Mod is its versatility. The EFI-X dongle allows the system to boot a wide range of operating systems, including Mac OS X and Windows 7. This dual-boot capability means users can switch between operating systems based on their needs, whether it’s for gaming, video editing, or general productivity.
It was just recently that I found out about the EFi-X dongle, a device that plugs into compatible motherboards and allows them to boot a wide range of operating systems including OSX. The promise of being able to buy my own components and run a stable copy of OSX made building my own system the perfect way for me to accomplish my objective and likely save a lot of money as well. ExpressHD.com was also kind enough to sponsor this project by sending me one of their EFi-X dongles.
The RAID0 array setup for video editing is another impressive feature. RAID0, also known as striping, splits data evenly across two or more disks, which can significantly improve performance. This is particularly beneficial for video editors who need fast access to large files. The setup ensures that the OS Xbox Pro Mod can handle high-definition video editing without any performance bottlenecks.
Moreover, the inclusion of both Windows 7 and Mac OS X provides users with the best of both worlds. Windows 7 is known for its compatibility with a wide range of software and games, while Mac OS X is favored by many creative professionals for its stability and user-friendly interface.
