Power Mac G5s run Microsoft's XBox 360 Demos at E3

"Itis an alpha kit, it has the Power PC processor. Itis the closes thing to whatis in the console. Itis the best source," Mario Rodriguez, a Microsoft employee on hand at Microsoftis Xbox 360 booth at E3, told TMO.

The Xbox 360 has long been known to use a special version of the G5 processor, as has the fact that temporary Xbox development systems were modified Power Mac G5 units. The demonstration at E3, however, are the first time that Power Macs have been used to show Xbox 360 games to the public
