From Atari ST or Commodore 64 back in the beginning to retro consoles such as the Nintendo Famicom and finally the PC with its ever evolving hardware: The majority of households nowadays include at least one gamer.

Instead of just plunking down the money why not squeeze better performance out of your existing machine and give yourself more time to save for that next generation gaming beast?
