From the Back Cover
The graphics, sound and networking needs of computer games are different than those of standard business applications. In fact, there are games that are among the most demanding applications you can run on a personal computer. Building the Ultimate Game Machine pulls together information not found in another single source and shows you how to optimize the performance of your PC. This includes topics such as 3D graphics acceleration, Microsoft's DirectX, Internet gaming and more.
Reviews
There are two kinds of PC game players: those who buy PlayStations and Dreamcast machines, which are entertainment appliances, and the technonerds who like to build their own game machines from scratch. This manual is for the builders. Case covers everything from memory, sound, and speed to networking, power tools, and special hardware drivers. Definitely not for beginners or those shy around screwdrivers. Recommended for all public libraries.
