Indrema L600

X-Box clone or elaborate hoax?

The web is currently rife with rumours regarding Indrema, a Linux-based console that sounds very similar to the recently announced X-Box. We duly checked out the 'official' website for more information and found the following specifications:

600MHz processor (just like X-Box)

64Mb fast memory (hasn't the X-Box got 64Mb?)

2/8/30/50Gb hard drive option (the X-Box has 8Gb)

"Massive 3D hardware acceleration" (like an NVIDIA GeForce, perchance?)

100Mbps Ethernet port (go on, take a guess...)

Wireless keyboard/mouse option (okay, so that is different)

As you can probably tell, we're rather dubious. To produce a console of this specification at a competitive price would take some serious financial backing. Who could realistically compete with the economic muscle of Microsoft, Sony, Sega and Nintendo? Our money's on Ronald McDonald.
