I have known that K4D263238M-QC50 or QC40 is default ram chip built-in on xbox.
BUT Is there any other ram chip which can be used for upgrading,too?
for example, K4D263238f-QC50 or 40 (which is a built-in ram of xbox 1.6 version) ,or HY5DU283222Q-5(it is said that It is same specification with K4D263238M series) is OK for upgrading ram capacity to 128mb?
I have xbox version 1.1 and I have plan to hunt down old geforce 2,3,4 graphic card which has a built-in sutable ram and desoldering it for upgrading my xboxs ram capacity.
I'm sorry for my weird English and any reply would be helpful. :mrgreen:

As far as using chips from from other Xboxes go, any Samsung chips will be ok. Hynix chips won't work; I think I remember reading that they have different timings. I forgot if 1.6 has Samsung or Hynix, but 1.6b has Hynix. I'm not sure about using chips from other sources though.
