Hey guys,

My Xbox 360 had a very interesting problem. No, there was no RROD on mine, but it would not display any video on any tv I tried. I called Microsoft and they said the extended 3 year warranty only covers RROD and that I would have to pay 100 dollars, I quickly told her to be right back while I stick my xbox in a very hot room until I could get it to RROD. She laughed and said that wouldn't work. I abliged, and in two weeks (today) I got a new refurbished Xbox. What I want to know is, does my new Xbox have the new heatsink? It's Manufacture Date is June-2008. I have tried the digital camera trick, but I can't get a clear picture. Does anybody know what date they started to include the new heatsinks?

TL;DR: What date did they add the new heatsinks

Get this,

This. Epic win.

I'm sorry but I had to LOL at your post. You have such awesome computer parts.. and 5 gigs of RAM lol, and than you have the worst graphics cards. I'm going to asume you know nothing about video card numbers (neither did I. I used to think an 8300 GS was better than a 7900...) I will explain. I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at the totally opposites in your hardware.

Many consider the 8300 the worst nVidia card ever made. It is complete crap, and is pretty much useless in games. The same thing with the other card. They are about equal in power.

When you buy nVidia card, you want to look at the second number. For example, a 7600 is better than an 8300. The second number is how powerful it is, the first number is the series. The series is important, but only when comparing cards with the same second number. Like... an 8600 is better than a 7600. Tell me if you need me to explain more.

To completely answer your question.... idk... they both equally suck for gaming....
