Subject: Playing strength of simple eval programs?

I just wondered about what is the strength of a simple computer chess program,
by simple i mean that you can have all the 'works' regarding seaching techniques
, null move, razoring, hash tables etc. But the only evaluation routine is count
of material .

My own assumption is that on 'low' searches ( between 1 to 10 plys, or short
time controls ) the programs will have little playing strength, but what about
longer time controls ?? I have the idea that the speed benefit ( no time
consuming eval. ) will give the program, deeper plys so on pure tactical reasons
it will not play 'bad' chess ( meaning some really bad positional move )

Thank you
