Seriously -- I don't see how this is anything special. I didn't see any specs at the website. It might be a decent little Linux-based PC for that price -- but I seriously doubt it'll ever gain ground as a "console."]]>Apr 3rd 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/Apr 3rd 2009 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/Apr 3rd 2009 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/

Just hope there's an explosion of Linux-friendly open source games for it, and they make it easy for OS developers to work with.

Nvidia+Linux = great
ATI + Linux = FAIL]]>Apr 3rd 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/
x1xx-x3xx=Garbage....ie: nVidia 7300, 8200, ATI x1100, HD 3200, etc.
x4xx-x5xx=Passable...ie: nVidia 8400, 8500, ATI x1500, HD 4500, etc.
x6xx-x7xx=Good........ie: nVidia 6600, 8600, ATI x1600, HD 4650, etc.
x8xx-x9xx=Awesome..ie: nVidia 7900, GTX280 , ATI x1900, HD 4870, etc.

In each generation, you could assume that the prior generation woudl perform about one level lower, with the exception of garbage cards. Like a 8600GT would perform about as well as a 7800GT. But garbage cards are still junk. I would bet that a GeForce 6600 would smoke a HD 3200, despite being many years older.]]>Apr 3rd 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/
P.S. If I am not mistaken, an HD 3200 has more power than the ATi card in the Wii, so it might be pretty damn good for a console.]]>Apr 3rd 2009 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/Apr 3rd 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/
Even though the hd 3200 is one of the best IGPs around, ATI doesn't really have good linux drivers so that's why it's a fail.]]>Apr 3rd 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/evo-linux-game-console-now-up-for-pre-order/

They have Fallout 3 to download directly to the console, but not WoW or Crysis (although you can download the Prima Strat Guide on the site...).

There's also a Windows version of the console.

It also, apparently, works as a DVR.'

And here's the worst advertisement I've ever seen.
