The difference between a gaming machine and a business machine
A business machine, a computer that is for word processing, spread sheets, databases tends to be of a lower spec than a gamming machine. Gaming machines needs additional hardware like Hi Spec Video cards with hi powered graphics processors and memory dedicated to the video card. Also the sound card often is a 5.1 surround sound where as the standard business machine does tend to have only 2.1 sound.
Many people get into trouble when they buy games and try to run them on a system that does not have the specifications for the game.
I have a simple plan I run by since gamming machines tend to be more expensive than business or workhorse machines, if you want a gamming machine buy a games console.
No so wacky website, but its fun anyway. Whilst we are talking games how about a stack of free to play online games. All you need is a web browser, internet access and the adobe flash player installed www.folash-games.net has thousands of games.
