Personal computers designed specifically for gamers are getting more powerful and more affordable by the month. They’re bursting with multi-core processors, powerful video graphics cards and plenty of memory to give you the most realistic graphics and action.<\/p>\n
\nAlthough it should come as no surprise that the computers that can run games consistently well are the ones at the high end of the price spectrum, I found machines for about $1,000 that can give you decent play.<\/p>\n
\nThe cheapest ones, though, were disappointing when confronted with complex games that can push a system to its limit.<\/p>\n
\nWith prices coming down, PC gamers on the verge of buying a new machine must ask themselves: Does it look cool, and can it run “Crysis”?<\/p>\n
\n“Crysis,” a futuristic first-person shooting game, has steeper hardware requirements than typical games, which already tend to push the boundaries. So if your computer is powerful enough for “Crysis,” it can likely run any game on the market.<\/p>\n
\nThe machines that run “Crysis” well have powerful graphics cards and multi-core processors — essentially several processors on a single chip working in synch.<\/p>\n
\nThese computers also have a generous amount of random access memory, or RAM, which is key to letting games to run smoothly. The myriad computations a game requires each second are primarily made with data uploaded on the fly to the available RAM on your computer. The more you have, the more data your computer can access quickly.<\/p>\n
\nIn my tests, Falcon Northwest delivers the best machines when price is no object.<\/p>\n
\nAt $3,856, Falcon Northwest’s diminutive FragBox is a serious ding to the wallet, but it packs twin graphics cards for multiple display support, 12 gigabytes of RAM and an Intel Core i7 processor rated at cool 3.06 gigahertz — all in a box that’s much shorter than the typical tower PC.
