well there are newer xbox's out at the moment that do have hdmi i believe that are jasper boards but they just came out so I'd say if you didnt buy an arcade bundle within the last 2 moths then you dont have one of the new "good" boards

EVERY SYSTEM can get the RRoD no matter what.

Just the Jasper is apparently supposed to be harder to get it.

so here is the deal with the newer boards. there have been several new board revisions in the history of xbox360, each one used a different chipset that uses less power which in turn produces less heat.  Heat is the culprit for RROD so you can see how this would help the RROD situation.  However kicks is still correct in that at this point even the jaspers have had some confirmed RRODs. The reason being that heat is not the only factor, other factors in the equation like lead free solder, and the thin motherboards that warp when they heat up.  Even thought the jasper boards produce less heat, they still produce a crapton of heat, just less then previous revisions.

BTW if you want a jasper, look for the arcades with the 256MB memory card bundled inside, rumor has it those are all jaspers.

I am like 99% sure every system manufactured after june 2008 arcade-elete have the jasper board, and 100% sure anything manufacturerd after june 2008 has a hdmi. also 100% sure even the jasper boards can get rrod as stated by chives. not to mention my first jasper console lasted 4 days, I put almost 50 hours on it, but still it lasted 4 days and got rrod, I took it back to walmart.
