206w ago - There's a new XBox 360 Jasper motherboard with a 4gbit Samsung NAND inside. This will give users 512Mbytes internal Memory Unit compared to the old Jasper motherboard which came with 256Mbytes.

posted pictures of a new Jasper motherboard with a 4gbit Samsung NAND inside.
To quote: This XBox 360 is a Japanese Arcade SKU made on April 9th 2009. The motherboard still seems like a Jasper-model, only real change seems to be the NAND.
The extra space is all used to give you a larger internal memory unit. The original Aracde Jasper has a 2gbit NAND and gave users an ~214MBytes of usable internal memory as around 16MB is used by Microsoft for kernel/keyvault/dash etc.
So we guess the new one should give you ~496Mbytes of usable internal MU.
I love they way they add in 512mb of memory but still sell the hard drives at ridiculous prices at my local ebgames 20gb's are going for $90, 60gb's for $159, and 120gb's for $221. Not to mention that you can buy a 120gb 2.5inch HDD for around $50-60.
"The Xbox 360 system software uses some of the included 512MB memory - less storage will be available to users. Additional storage may be needed for game saves, Xbox Live Arcade games, content downloads, personal file storage, and additional enhanced functionality.
It's NOT RAM people, X360 already has 512MBytes Unified RAM. (ps3 has 256 Main RAM and 256 Graphics RAM)
