| The $500 Gaming Machine
The Budget Gaming PC Challenge If you are like this writer, your passion for the latest and greatest technology is bigger than your wallet. Let's face it, most of us can afford to fork over the occasional $50 for the latest game title, but even the most hardcore gamer usually won't pay more than $600 for the latest graphics card or processor. However, as we've reported many times over, benchmarks don't lie - and they show that you're often not going to notice much difference with games when investing in cutting edge technology. I'm a big fan of buying behind the techno-curve. Just as new products come out, I'm there like a vulture preying on the prior generation's technology products to get the most for my money. Cutting edge is sexy. Getting the best performance for your money is not, but this purchase philosophy gets you a lot for the money. http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20051014/index.html  |
