3702333 43806 now thats my serial number, but if i am correct that would be week 38 in 2004, i looked at a table on a website and it wasnt on there, im pretty sure that i have a v. 1.6 already cuz i got it in november of 04, but can anyone tell me if i did something wrong trying to find it...?
thanks for your help, but can u tell me the difference between 1.6 and 1.6b? I have never heard of 1.6b, and i might hard mod my xbox but i heard its tougher for the newer versions...
the only major difference is in the software. but 99% of all modchips today are compatible with both 1.6 and 1.6b xboxes.

i actually have a v1.6 softmodded and it works just as good as my friends that is a 1.4 soft modded. also i can do everything my other friend with a modchip can do it is just a little more work. so i would soft mod it is the cheapest and very easy to reverse if you mess up.
i think its probably a 1.6b that i have because its not on the chart and 1.6b wasnt on the chart that i checked on this website... can u gimme directions on how to soft mod or would that be asking too much sorry ive never softmodded b4
i went by the serial charts and since it was newer than the charts i figured that it mustve been a 1.6b and i also dont know how to open up my xbox to see, kinda new to these things yet....
on very rare occasions you can get a mid 2004 etc xbox NOT a 1.6, this is when microsoft have remanufactured a board, but its very rare. it does sound like a 1.6 or 1.6b use the evox m8plus 1.6b bios if youre using a chip the one advantage of chips is another hard drive is simple plug and play. the advantage of softmods, is, its free But I still prefere modchips Itseasy enough to reverse a bad flash on say an xecuter 2.6 especially if you only use half the chip (ier flash bank 1) it can also be hotswapped and reflashed with evox. I use modchips cos Im contantly modding hard drives, so I made my own auto installer, and iots just a case of swapping the drive and putting in the installer. BUT, if you feel you wont be swapping out drives, and youre real strapped for cash, then softmodding is a good option The difference between a 1.6 and 1.6b is the memory chip, either hynix brand or samsung, and the only "issue" (though its not really) is not all "hacked" bios work on a 1.6b. Though I personally have yet to find a problem.
