By modern standards it is very primitive. It'll work but it's only worth is as a curiosity. I've been slowly collecting old modchips for a collection and this is one that I've had trouble locating.

 

Very jealous of that find. I'm always on the hunt for xbox modchips that I don't have or haven't heard much about, thats really an interesting find!

 

That's a great find especially rely xbox mod chip

 

I am thinking of TSOPing the motherboard and then removing the chip. I will proberly then sell it
