I looked around and could not find the answer but does xbmc use the benefits of a computer or does it have the xbox limitations built in?If so if I upgraded an xboxes ram to 128.Could I put on a linux bios port xbmc to linux and use the extra ram that xbmc on an xbox wont?As well as have the ability to kill the dvd drive and use 2 hdd's to create the most possible storage space?.And if this setup is possible is it hard to get the linux port to launch xbmc automaticly when the xbox boots?

XBMC for linux is not made to use on XBOX, it's made for a usual PC with linux on. And running linux on the XBOX is not gonna work with the linux branch.

XBMC online-manual,
FAQ and

This may sound stupid or may not. I have read that you can use linux to launch into windows threw something that was called a bottleneck if I remember correctly it has been awhile since I read it anyhow.If so launching into windows from linux would this make a difference?Could xbmc possible take advantange of the extra ram then as well as handle the hdd upgrade?

Linux can run some Windows programs via WINE or via an emulated environment. An XBOX isn't going to have enough memory and likely not enough CPU to run either very effectively - upgraded or not.
This forum is for an XBMC port to Linux running on consumer grade X86 hardware. Desktop type PCs in other words.
