    What i did,
    I Bought an ethernet cord, went home, drilled holes in the floor so it goes to my 360 then to my router, then i connected it to the router, took it in the XBOX and its connected, its a wired connection, MUCH better than a wireless,

    k, just plug in a keyboard and mouse to the xbox, plug ina computer monitor...

    there you go same thing...

    as for running them on PC, you'de need 3rd party emulation software. At this time, none exists and if it did computer hardware wouldn't be powerfull enough to emulate the xbox's hardware, OS, background services and run the game - even if it could run the PC port on much higher settings flawlessly...

    emulation is CPU, and RAM intensive...

    I wouldn't say 1000's, only like 2 or 3x better, and for any computer to run a 360 game would be a short lived task

    buy a tv card (a good one because the crappy ones lag the game when you plug in a console)

    You can either get a VGA box (search for it on newegg.com any of the ones should work)

    or if you want Hi-Def but only for the xbox 360

    The cheapest VGA box and the adapter are the same price, but for the VGA box you get a tv tuner, and for the VGA cable you get hi def.
