im not worried about the graphics or the cpu that can be updated
unless you plan to cram the powerpc cpu of a xbox 360 into an original xbox's intel socket, you're outta luck.
No, an xbox cannot play xbox 360 games, it is impossible due to extreme hardware differences, why do you think the list of original xbox games that work on the 360 is so short? Because MS has to emulate the original xbox game engine because the 360 has a powerpc cpu while the original was intel.
Micro$oft for the win!  While on PCs they refuse to stop backward compatibility (which would allow for enormous leaps forward in their OS technology) they barely implement it at all in the Xbox. There are factors involved for both sides though in both cases but you still feel a bit cut when the Wii has done so well and you're left running your next gen console and your old xbox.
Sorry for the off-topic vent
