So...they take a PC and stick it in a nice box...and then write software to 'recognise' and install games. However...since most games come with an Autorun feature anyway how much software did they really have to write?
Basic specs are fairly anemic for PC games: 1Ghz 'Pentium Class' processor with 256MB of Ram.And an Integrated video card. Thing is...most games aren't written for 'low end' console specs.Half Life 2..Deus Ex 2..Doom III..all of these aren't going to truly shine unless you got that Hyperthreaded P4 with the 512MB of Ram and a new DX 9 graphics card. The unit is going to cost about 400US apparently....the same price as that DELL (with better specs than this) after rebates. So....who the hell is going to BUY this crap? Basically they are dropping a neat software shell atop Windows XP to 'simplify' installing and patching games. Alienware and Voodoo PC are supposed to be 'licensing' the DISCover virtual desktop for their machines as a choice to consumers. Me? I think selling the software desktop is a good idea. Selling a 'complete' gaming PC package and calling it a DISCover console..isn't. http://www.homelanfed.com/index.php?id=16071 -Gel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Your ad could be here.
