They are awful specifications for the money. Just looking around the website, many of their systems are vastly overpriced.

The specs are also pretty low and there is no way you should be buying either for games, even if Eve will 'run' on it.

hi looking at the 2 you have chosen.

The Llano A6-K
Specification Snapshot:

1TB SATA II 3Gb/s HDD
AMD Radeon HD 6000
4GB SAMSUNG DDR3 1333MHz
ASUS® F1A55-M LE
AMD A6-3670K APU

this one will suffer from the hd card issue when session changes crash the hd card, either will do but u would need to add a new power supply and graphics card, i have just been out and got a new pc and tryed to spend as little as possable. the spec's

Product Features

Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
RAM in GB 4 to 8
Hard Disk Capacity in GB 1000
Processor Intel Core i3-2120 (3.3 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache)
Graphic Card or Chip Graphics Media Accelerator HD
USB Port 6 USB 2.0 ports



Also known as: HP Pavilion p6-2000ukm
i changed the graphics card for a gt 440 and i can run 5 clients with all settings to full and have a frame rate of 60 to 70 fps
and have NO issues at all it run's better than a lot more expensive systems in total it cost 620 gbp


hope that help's :)

using the rating system that windows use
processor calculations per sec 7.1
ram 4GB 5.9
graphics gt440 6.7
gaming graphics 6.7
priamry hd data trans rate 5.9

over all scoore 5.9 which is determined by lowest score as i said i can run 5 accounts from the same client with no issues and all set to high settings....

Yea, isn't that always the case with pre-made PCs though? Above average prices for below average components.
Anyway, those PCs are horrible imo :p

Long story short, you can't have a good gaming PC with a small budget (and especially not if you don't build it yourself) ...depending on what you call a small budget of course.

Hugh. Thats a terrible fit!

You need more power then a 350 wat output and you need at least a 4 core procesor, AMD's are cheaper in this, performance for the money isn't bad.

Ram could be 4 gig, but 8 gig runs so much better. However never take an integrated GPU and never ever use a stock cooler.

But to answer your question, it will probably run eve without to much problems, but if I'd be buying only for eve I'd buy an nvidea card.

I myself build the following system one year ago just under 1000 euro's. It runs eve like a charm, even two clients in full mode while running around in CQ doing handstands.

MSI 870A-G54 - Socket AM3 - ATX
Samsung 1TB 3.5" SATA-300 7200rpm
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 3.3GHz 6MB AM3 Black
Cooler Master V8 Koeler
CoolerMaster Silent Pro M850 - 800Watt - ATX
Corsair Dominator - 8GB 1600MHz PC3-12800
MSI Radeon HD 6950 - 2GB - PCI-E - DVI / HDMI

Only thing I would change is to add a solid state HD for my windows.
