Intro
HD gaming: playing any of the 2008 Games for Windows titles with High quality settings at 1680×1050 (20 and 22-inch widescreen LCD monitor) or 1280×1024 (19-inch LCD monitor) resolution. A gaming system is not simply a desktop you play games on; it must be a properly-configured, well-tuned and rigorously tested machine. Since most gamers do not have thousands to drop on their setup, performance/dollar and energy-efficiency have to be a part of the equation as well.
