Ok, so this eBay seller (who doesn't want to share his secrets oddly enough), says that his xbox's are the only ones available with 720p or 1080p.  I know there's a way...I can't find it because I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for or more importantly how to search it.

here are the links:

Thanks in advance for your help!

The original Xbox can only do 480p, 720p and 1080i without an upscaler that will add a bit of delay between the video out of the Xbox through the scaler to the HDTV.  Not sure that it will create enough to be noticeable or not.  Some upscalers add more much more delay than others.   

I'd think N64 Freaks HDMI mod listed in forums at ogXbox.com would be a better option.  Have yet to read the eBay sellers claim's.

The Portta YPbPr to HDMI convertor sells for $20 to $27.00 on Amazon.com and eBay.

Looks like he sells the 720p system and includes the Portta component to HDMI upscaler for $35 more.

Not sure he's doing digital audio as the Portta convertor takes in R/W RCA stereo not a digital output from the Xbox.  With the Xbox High Definition A/V Pack or quality component cable, you have stereo RCA jacks and access to an optical digital output from the Xbox.

You can't see the optical port on the side but it's next to the pair of audio jacks at the top of this image.

The optical jack on this component cable is built into the big bump on the Xbox AV port jack.

Oh dear lord...I see what you're talking about now.  I wasn't paying enough attention.  It's a hardware thing and nothing he did software wise.  Duh!

Still learning...one day I'll get there!

Thanks again!!!

Bro you can buy a $3 pair of Chinaman wires that will do 1080. I have no idea why so many people are fixated on HDMI like that's the only way you can get HD. You can get HD through this video svideo... I don't know brother you might be able to find some decent component wires for cheap on eBay that will do the exact same thing
