Evesham, the worlds favourite Worcestershire based PC manufacturer, has informed us that its going to be releasing a new flagship PC system designed to showcase Evesham?s expertise at putting bleeding edge technology together.
The Evolution Decimator is based on Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 but is also designed as a cutting?edge gaming machine that Evesham claims that the machine will ?eat eats Half Life 2 for breakfast?. This will be in no small measure due to the presence of an brand new ATI Radeon X850 XT graphics card.

I've got no gripe against Evesham, but this isn't a decimator! The machine spec isnt the top you can buy, so I cant see it decimating the competition. The case is nice, its driven by a 3.8GHz P4 and will feature the new Radeon X850. Thing is, everyone elses top machines will feature the latest gfx cards when they are released too, I dont see what advantage this machine will have. The same spec machine with a high end A64 will beat this machine for gaming (on performance and price), which is the main target market of this machine. Number crunchers arent usually bothered by flashy looks. This is an expensive alternative and slower than with a good A64. Many of the key features of this machine can be bettered easily. I have no doubt it will eat HalfLife2 for breakfast, but so will the other manufacturers top end machines. I'd buy the case (looks a bit like a fridge though)

They should have used a Pentium M instead. With a desktop motherboard on the market... it's obvious that the P4 is out, the PM is in and Intel is sitting on a gold mine. |
