ur answer is NO... its the gpu which causing 3rod.. but falcon is only the cpu.. so the problem is still there..... how ever the heat is reduce on the falcon unit.... sorry if my answer is wrong but u might wana browse all these pages for the right answer.

another thing is the noisy sound from the drive is normal for falcon unit? or it sign of destruction.

i c... meaning to say that the older model is louder la... hehehe its my first xb also so i dont know how the rest sound...

just that some kuli got big pay.. hehehehe any way thanks to gamerfamilia now that i know that my drive is benq one..

just now meet a fren who also bought a falcon set which come with halo 3.... but one thing he told me that the shop owner remind him is to constantly power up the unit.. dont let the unit didnt power for some time eg: need to power up at least once in 2 days like that or else it will got problem.. is this true? since i am heavy traveler so my days with my xbox is some how limited some time need to travel up to a week or so.. if what the shop owner said is true then im dooom
