Anandtech 2nd article: A Tour of the 360's Motherboard
>> As a follow-up to their previously article where they disassembled the retail Xbox 360 hardware, Anandtech has posted a more in-depth look at the Xbox 360 motherboard:
[QUOTE]
The original Xbox featured a 4-layer Intel motherboard, but given the incredible power requirements of the CPU and GPU on the Xbox 360's motherboard we would be astonished if the same were true today. Luckily with any console, especially early on in their life, you are getting a true bargain when it comes to the cost of hardware - so the number of layers on this PCB doesn't matter much to the end user, as Microsoft will absorb all costs above and beyond the core system's $299 price tag.

They show all the main chips (CPU, GPU, RAM, 128Mbit Flash, ...) and ports (power, usbs, analog AV cable port, SATA, ..) in detail, check it out on anandtech.com
