I was told a while back that the hard drives in the xbox are just the same that you would put in your pc, I dont know how true this is

Not so true..The Xbox Harddrive are spepcially made they MAY look the same but I have never seen them look the same..I tried this before, I hooked up the Xbox Harddrive to the PC and the PC couldn't read it due to a IDE cable...Now what I didn't try was swapping cables cause it was too dark..Erm..Not helpful I know Cluis, Sorry.

Yes the Xbox CPU only runs at 750 MHz, its basically a modified Pentium 3. I have overclocked one, and made it run stable at just under 1 GHz. This makes the games load quicker and respond better under heavy hardware conditions. The hard drive needs to have an Xbox OS on it if you just want to plug it in and use it. You can put linux or any other operating system on the hard drive, you just have to put a mod chip in your box.

The actual hard drive it self is an ATA 100 or 133 hard drive, they are ready to be plugged into a pc, and are not modified in any way. The only thing that is Xbox standard is the OS they put on it.
