I am just curiuos, can an xbox run all xbox games. I know this sounds stupid but i heard about upgraded xboxes, they are called dreamX. So this kinda got me confused. If i buy an normal xbox (the one that's $199)can i play games like: Doom 3,Splinter Cell: PT, HITMAN: contracts?

Of course, unless the Doom3 box says otherwise.

DreamX console, is a modified Xbox that replaces the Xbox’s 733MHz CPU with a 1.48 GHz Tualatin Celeron and increases the unified DDR-RAM to 128MB
the bad
No Xbox Live for the DreamX. You must use XBConnect, tunneling software that runs through your desktop PC.
Under 1.48GHz conditions, most, but not all in-game movies will pause every 3-5 second seconds.
For DVDs, there can be significant lip-sync errors in which the audio and video is separated by seconds. SO you must use thrid party software for DvD's

you could just mod it, this way you can play multi regional games and copy the games onto the xbox hard drive. thus not requiring the game disk. so get down to blockbuster, rent your game, copy it, then send it back. wohoooooooo moddy i love you
