All the crystal ones I saw were standard spec.
They've stopped production of the Crystal Xboxes for some time now haven't they?
All xbox production ceased last year ahead of Xbox 360 production. All factory spec Xbox consoles have 64MB RAM and a hard disk formatted to 8GB, although as early as 2003 10GB discs were being used and latterly 20GB discs were installed although they were again only formatted to use 8GB, although its more than likely that you can unlock the extra space if the console is modded. The only memory upgrades done were 3rd party mods which involved piggy backing extra chips onto the memory that was already installed. A similar modification involved a 1.4GHz Celeron chip being installed and a switch enabling the user to switch between the standard chip and the 1.4GHz chip. By all accounts the memory modification only really made a difference when using Linux on the xbox, whereas the 1.4GHz Celeron accelerated games.
PS. The "Crystal" Xbox wasn't a limited edition, it was a special edition that wasnt produced in specifically limited numbers. The only version of the Xbox in the UK to be produced as a limited edition was the "Green" version, which was limited to 2000 examples and supplied with 2 matching green joypads.
