xbox live - one account for both 360 and xbox?

I have an account for xbox live gold on my 360, is it possible to get online
with my reg. xbox (one system at a time) with the SAME account? as in, log
out with my 360 and turn that off, AND THEN turn my regular xbox on and log
into that same account with it?!?!?!

I would love to play helo online again, but I also cant figure out how to
play it on my 360, maybe there is a way to do that. I did buy the better
xbox360, and I heard that if I bought that one, that I would be able to play
360 AND xbox games on it..... that true?!?!? is there a way to "turn on"
that feature? or is it really not a feture?

I do that with the games not compatible with Xbox 360, Brant. I just switch
the Ethernet cable to the Xbox from the 360, and then logon. As for
compatibility, only games which will be found on the list
(http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/back...ygameslist.htm) will
have an update available when you're online with them on the 360. There's
nothing to "turn on" with the 360, the updates will be automatic when you
start the compatible game.

Halo is NOT a online game, Halo II is, but both games will play on the 360
and you can online game with Halo 2. I've played both. There are only
Specific Xbox games you can play on the 360, but the list gets updated once
in a while. Not sure what the address is off hand, you can find it on
www.xbox.com and do a search. The different games require a file to
download to make them work, except for Halo, and Halo 2 which are already on
the Hard Drive. Pop the Disc in and it should load up and you should see
the old Xbox Logo at bootup.
